Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement
Centinela Hospital Medical Center is participating in a Medicare initiative called the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CJR) model. The CJR model aims to promote quality and financial accountability for care surrounding lower-extremity joint replacement (LEJR) procedures, commonly referred to as hip and knee replacements and/or other major leg procedures. Centinela Hospital Medical Center participation in the CJR model should not restrict your access to care for your medical condition or your freedom to choose your health care clinicians and services. All existing Medicare beneficiary protections continue to be available to you. These include the ability to report concerns of substandard care to Quality Improvement Organizations and 1-800-MEDICARE.

The CJR model aims to help give you better care.
Centinela Hospital Medical Center has entered into financial arrangements with collaborating healthcare clinicians who are engaged in care redesign with the hospital and who may furnish health care services to Medicare beneficiaries during an episode of care. Under these agreements, Centinela Hospital Medical Center may share payments received from Medicare as a result of reduced episode spending and hospital internal cost savings with collaborating clinicians and suppliers. Centinela Hospital Medical Center may also share financial accountability for increased episode spending with collaborating clinicians and suppliers.
For more information on the hospital’s participation in the CJR model, please see formal policy.
