- Excerpt from Bundled Payments:

In a typical bundled payment arrangement, a healthcare provider receives a single bundled payment and then distributes individual payments to specialists and other care providers

Example: Hospital receives payment for hip replacement surgery and then distributes to the anesthesiologist, surgeon, medical device company, etc., to cover the costs of various services.
