Chronic Care Management Benefits

Chronic Care Management Benefits Both Patients and Providers

Patient Benefits

• Patient education, coaching, and self-management health behaviors.
• Medication management and ability to transfer knowledge to physicians and appropriate caregivers.
• Tracking receipt of preventative services and recommended quality measures.
• Helps to close gaps in care.
• Same Care Coordinator Assigned for the monthly calls. (Patient Engagement)

Provider Benefits

• Revenue from CCM: Reimbursement that benefits the provider through increased revenue, coded for the first 20 minutes, and the second and third 20 minute periods.
• Additional Services Generated by CCM Calls: By connecting with patients more frequently, providers generate additional revenue from services treating issues that wouldn’t otherwise be brought up by the patient. (i.e. scheduling annual wellness visits, lab testing, immunizations, etc.)
• Maximize MIPS Incentive Payments: CMS is highly focused on improving care coordination and places significant weight on CCM when determining your MIPS score and incentive payment.
