What it means
A bundled payment is a single combined payment made to cover all healthcare services related to a specific treatment, episode of care, or condition — such as a knee replacement — rather than paying each provider separately. The bundle typically includes surgeon fees, hospital costs, anesthesia, physical therapy, and follow-up visits. Providers split the bundled amount among themselves. For patients, bundled payments can mean fewer separate bills and more coordinated care. If your care falls under a bundled payment arrangement, you pay your usual cost-sharing, but providers handle the financial coordination behind the scenes.
How to say it
Sentences a patient might use with a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, or insurer:

How many bills should I expect if my care is under a bundled payment?
¿Cuántas facturas debo esperar si mi atención está bajo un pago agrupado?
Will I owe separate copays to each provider, or is it one payment under the bundle?
¿Debo copagos separados a cada proveedor o es un solo pago bajo el paquete?
