Still Have Questions?

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services started Chronic Care Management as a part of the Medicare Fee for Service (FFS) program for Medicare beneficiaries with two or more chronic conditions.
CCM services were started to promote better health and reduce overall healthcare expenditure by allowing healthcare providers to manage and coordinate patient care between physical office visits. Generally, CCM services are provided in a non-face-to-face way for Medicare beneficiaries whose chronic conditions are expected to last at least 12 months or until the death of the patient.
Furthermore, CCM is covered under Medicare Part B, and the patient's care team can bill for the time spent managing the patient's condition.

Chronic Care Management services are important for Medicare beneficiaries and patients to improve their quality of care and reduce overall healthcare costs by providing a proactive form of healthcare. Patients enrolled in the CCM program have a lower rate of hospitalization and emergency room visits and increased primary care visits. The major benefit of chronic care management is ongoing health and wellness support with increased access to appropriate care, constant communication with the care team, reduction in hospital readmission and emergency room visits, and increased patient engagement.

Patients eligible for Chronic Care Management must have at least two or more chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months or last the patient's lifetime. Along with that, patients who are at significant risk of death, acute exacerbation, or functional decline are also eligible for CCM services.

The key requirements of Chronic Care Management are:

  1. Patient eligibility
  2. Patient Consent
  3. Reviewing medical records and test results
