Since 2015, Chronic Care Staffing (CCS) has been a trusted partner in delivering clinically driven, patient-centered Chronic Care Management (CCM) solutions. With our innovative approach, we’ve helped practices enhance care coordination, improve patient outcomes, and boost revenue without requiring software integration or upfront costs. As we look ahead to 2025, significant changes to CMS regulations will impact care management services, especially for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). Here’s what you need to know about these updates and how CCS can help your practice navigate the transition.
The 2025 CMS Final Rule introduces substantial updates to care management services that aim to optimize reimbursements and expand the scope of care provided to patients. The most notable change is the elimination of the G0511 code for FQHCs, which will be replaced by a range of CPT codes already utilized by private practices.
A new program, APCM, has been introduced as an alternative to traditional CCM:
This program offers tailored care management without strict time requirements, opening new opportunities for practices to enhance patient care.
The updated codes and additional care options present a significant opportunity for practices to optimize their care management strategies and revenue streams:
Navigating regulatory changes can be challenging, but Chronic Care Staffing is here to make the process seamless. Here’s how we’ll support your practice:
