What is Chronic Care Management?
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) introduced the CCM program to encourage a value-based model for reimbursement. CCM contributes to improved care and overall health outcomes for Medicare patients with two or more chronic conditions.
66%
of Medicare beneficiaries have two or more chronic conditions
86%
of healthcare spending is attributed to patients with chronic conditions
CCM Requirements
Core competencies required of providers
To be eligible for the CCM fee, providers must:
- Be on a certified EHR for specified purposes such as symptom management, social resources, and medication management.
- Maintain a comprehensive electronic care plan accessible to all relevant care members — including the patient — and shared according to HIPAA regulations.
- Ensure the patient has 24/7 access to care through secure messaging portals, phone, texting, etc. This gives patients the opportunity to communicate beyond the office.
- Facilitate transitions of care by managing referrals, providing post-discharge transitional care management, and sharing a patient’s information electronically with other relevant clinicians.
- Coordinate care with their patients by assessing health, implementing care, and reassessing and adjusting care plans accordingly.
