Participation in a voluntary bundled payment program by organizations providing care after an acute hospitalization
This research letter addresses spending on post–acute care (PAC), or care provided after a stay in an acute care hospital. PAC is the largest driver of variation in total per capita Medicare spending. To address this, Medicare has targeted PAC spending in payment reforms including voluntary bundled payment programs. This letter discusses participation in these voluntary payment programs.

Payer type and low-value care: comparing Choosing Wisely services across commercial and Medicare populations.
This study compared low-value health service use among commercially insured and Medicare populations and explored the influence of payer type on the provision of low-value care. In measuring use of seven Choosing Wisely-identified low-value services, it concluded that low-value care appears driven by factors unrelated to payer type or anticipated reimbursement.
