The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced 23 additional participants in the Community-based Care Transitions Program.
These participants will join seven other community-based organizations already working with local hospitals and other healthcare and social service providers to support Medicare patients who are at high risk of being readmitted to the hospital while transitioning from hospital stays to their homes, a nursing home or other care setting.
As part of their two-year agreement with the CMS Innovation Center, each organization will be paid a flat fee for helping to coordinate patient care after a hospital stay for each Medicare beneficiary who is at high risk for readmission to the hospital. This is the second round of CCTP participants announced since the program was launched in April 2011.
