This is Session 2 of the SMART for TEAM series, again presented by the National Spine Health Foundation and sponsored by Medimaps and Radius Health.
Dr. Roy frames reimbursement reform as a genuinely powerful driver of healthcare change — noting that in a fee-for-service economy, the incentives to invest in upstream prevention are limited, and that risk-sharing models like TEAM's mandatory episode-based structure are part of a broader shift already underway.
The session builds the case for why bone-health optimisation isn't just good clinical practice under TEAM — it's a direct lever on the cost and quality metrics the model is built around, making the case for early, structured screening rather than treating it as a downstream afterthought.

Topics covered include how episode-based reimbursement changes incentive structures, where bone-health optimisation fits within CMS TEAM's quality and cost framework, and why upstream screening matters more under risk-sharing models than it did under fee-for-service.
