The Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement Expanded (CJR-X) Model, scheduled to begin in October 2027, requires hospitals to assume greater financial accountability for cost and quality outcomes across defined episodes of care. Hospital performance will be shaped not only by what happens during the hospital stay, but also by decisions, services and outcomes across the care continuum.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has projected savings of approximately $725 million over the proposed model’s first five years. CJR-X represents a significant expansion of CMS’ use of mandatory, episode-based payment models. The model is expected to be finalized in the Inpatient Prospective Payment System (IPPS) final rule in late July or early August 2026.

This webinar will examine the model’s proposed structure, participation and performance requirements. You’ll explore its potential financial, operational, and compliance implications and identify key considerations for successful performance under the model.
