Navigating Medicare’s 2027 Hospital Payment Changes: OPPS Final Rule, Inpatient-Only List, and CJR-X (2028)

Government Affairs and UM OPS Committee

December 1, 2026, 6:30-8PM EST

Join us for an evening discussion of key provisions shaping Medicare hospital payment policy for 2027, with a focus on the Final Rule changes and the continued phase-out of the Inpatient Only (IPO) List. We will also examine the introduction of CJR-X, CMS’s nationwide expansion of the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement model, including its implications for inpatient and outpatient lower-extremity joint replacement episodes beginning in 2028.
