Thank you for the time. Three Medicare programs now touch almost every spine patient we see, and they started arriving this year. One of them, TEAM, puts this hospital at financial risk for every spinal fusion episode. One, WISeR, changes how traditional Medicare authorizes spine procedures in New Jersey. And one, ASM, starts measuring spine clinicians individually in 2027.
I have asked to be the physician lead for our service line on these programs. This talk is what I have learned, checked against CMS's own rules and participant files, and what I propose we do. Every fact on these slides links to the CMS document it came from.
