San Francisco – September 07, 2026 -- Rainfall Health announced that Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida will deploy its AI-driven platform to manage care coordination and compliance under the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services' Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM), a mandatory payment program that took effect January 1, 2026.
CMS mandates 721 hospitals into value-based surgical episode program
CMS selected 721 hospitals for the first TEAM cohort, requiring value-based reimbursement across five high-volume surgical episodes. Hospitals missing cost and quality benchmarks face financial penalties, while those that meet targets can access reconciliation bonuses worth up to $85 million in new revenue.
Rainfall platform to automate post-acute coordination and quality reporting
Rainfall's platform will support post-acute care coordination and quality reporting for Mayo Clinic patients participating in TEAM, automating workflows tied to patient progress monitoring and CMS compliance requirements.
"Healthcare organizations participating in CMS's evolving value-based care models are looking for scalable ways to coordinate care, improve operational efficiency, and meet reporting requirements," said Eddie Qureshi, CEO and Founder of Rainfall Health.
Rainfall secured $15 million Series A funding ahead of Mayo Clinic deal
The Mayo Clinic announcement follows Rainfall's $15 million Series A funding round and the release of its TEAM Impact Report last month. Paul Uhrig, Senior Strategic Advisor at The Healthcare Trust Institute and a member of Rainfall's R.A.I.N Advisory Committee, said the alignment of financial incentives with quality outcomes across the healthcare system has never been greater.
