In February 2015 the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards released model language to facilitate the practice of telepsychology and temporary in-person psychology across jurisdictions, referred to as the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact. The Compact is only model language, and would have to be passed as a statute in at least seven states to come into existence.
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed the creation and testing of a new payment model to be called the Comprehensive Care for Joint Replacement (CCJR) Model. The CCJR model is “to promote quality and financial accountability for episodes of care surrounding a lower-extremity joint replacement (LEJR) or reattachment of a lower extremity procedure” by testing “whether bundled payments to acute care hospitals for LEJR episodes of care will reduce Medicare expenditures while preserving or enhancing the quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries.”
