Bundled Payments for Care Improvement
Abbreviation: BPC
Definition
Bundled Payments for Care Improvement (BPC) is an initiative introduced by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to promote coordinated and cost-effective care delivery. Under BPC, healthcare providers receive a single bundled payment for a defined episode of care, such as a joint replacement or cardiac procedure, incentivizing coordination and efficiency across the care continuum.
