Chronic Care Management

Chronic Care Management

Chronic care conditions are amongst the most common expensive and preventable healthcare problems in United States. You probably haven’t been reimbursed for helping these patients manage their conditions between office visits, but now you can be. Recently the center for Medicare and Medicaid services began a new chronic care management program which reimburse for non-face-to-face monthly consultation with Medicare patients with multiple chronic conditions. This program requires a minimum of 20 minutes of clinical staff's time per month, directed by a physician or any other qualified healthcare professional. You can bill an average of $42.60 per month per patient by meeting CMS requirements, which can significantly impact your bottom line.

To start and run a program like this you have to bear substantial cost for clinical consultation, additional time for documentation, billing and since compliance is essential for reimbursement, meeting all program elements on your own may require further technology investments and additional staff recruitments.
