Athenahealth is built to help practices run smarter—but when it comes to adding Chronic Care Management (CCM), many providers hit a wall. Between third-party software, complicated integrations, and added workload, implementing CCM can feel more like a burden than a benefit.
That’s where Chronic Care Staffing (CCS) changes the game.
We’ve developed a frictionless CCM solution designed specifically for Athena users—no integrations, no extra systems, and no disruption to your existing workflow.
Unlike other CCM providers that rely on external software, CCS operates directly within your Athena system. Your staff doesn’t have to log into a new platform or learn a new process. We handle care coordination, patient outreach, and documentation right where you already work.
No integration fees. No new logins. No tech support tickets.
Because we document everything directly in Athena, your clinical team has real-time access to care plans, time logs, patient communication, and care coordination activity. This full visibility ensures compliance, improves care continuity, and keeps your team in the loop—without lifting a finger.
With CCS, you can start billing for CCM codes like CPT 99490 without overloading your team. We do the heavy lifting—calling patients, building care plans, tracking time, and submitting detailed reports—so you can simply review and approve.
Practices using CCS typically see increased revenue with zero increase in internal workload.
Adding CCM with CCS is easy and fast. Since we don’t rely on any new software or EHR integrations, we can be up and running within days—not weeks or months.
Our Athena clients love the simplicity, speed, and clarity of our process, and their patients benefit from more consistent, proactive care.
If you’re using Athena and want to implement Chronic Care Management without the tech headaches, Chronic Care Staffing is your all-in-one solution. Simple, effective, and built for your existing workflow.
Let’s simplify CCM—starting today.
