1D | CMS’ TEAM Mandate Decoded
Hospitals across the country are now operating under CMS’ mandatory Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) bundled payment model. Surgical episodes — spanning CABG, LEJR, spinal fusion, major bowel, and SHFFT — all require increased accountability, integration, and risk management. This session breaks down the current regulatory structure of TEAM tracks 1-3, impact, and coder touch points. In addition to the lecture, there will be a 10-minute small group activity — TEAM Rapid Sort — with attendees divided into small groups. Each group will be tasked with identifying the track, key driver, and potential coordination challenges. Upon completion, willing groups may share their answers. This session will provide insight into the TEAM model, leading to appropriate identification, and response — essential for revenue protection and risk reduction.

6F | Navigating Federal and State No Surprises Acts With Compliant Precision
The No Surprises Act (NSA) has reshaped how providers, coders, and compliance professionals approach out-of-network billing, good faith estimates, and dispute resolution. With overlapping federal and state legislation, rising independent resolution volumes, and sharpened audit scrutiny, flawless documentation and workflow integration are more critical than ever. This session provides a practical roadmap — from NSA triggers to independent review outcomes — emphasizing interplay with state mandates, financial impact, and defendable documentation strategies. The presentation also provides the opportunity for a quick activity in which participants receive mock scenarios and are tasked with indicating whether NSA applies to the scenario, state vs. federal jurisdiction, and required documentation/disclosure.
