CHRONIC CARE
MANAGEMENT
CPT 99490
Our Flagship Program
Chronic Care Management (CPT code 99490) is mandatory for providers and health systems that accept Medicare patients.
We utilize clinically-proven chronic care management to improve care, reduce costs, and create financial stability. By engaging your patients, we can expand your reach and profitability beyond your exam room to capture "new" revenue while reducing risk
What Is Chronic Care Management?
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recognizes care management as a critical component of primary care that contributes to better health and reduced spending.
Beginning January 1, 2015, Medicare pays separately under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) under American Medical Association Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 99490, for non-face-to-face care coordination services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries with multiple (2 or more) chronic conditions.

CCM Scope of Service Elements - Highlights

Evidence-based chronic care model
About 48% of patients who are less engaged in their care suffer a health consequence due to poor care coordination and communication barriers, and 60% lose confidence in the healthcare system, making them less likely to comply with treatment plans.* Using an evidence-based, clinically researched chronic care model as developed by CCM and ICIC under ACA laws and guidelines, our SCORM compliant model helps by:

-
Facilitating the provider’s treatment instructions in a comprehensive care plan;
-
Promoting patient self-management through condition-specific education, helping them create attainable goals, and cultivating a health-conscious culture of learning;
-
Addressing communication barriers between care providers and patients utilizing specific behavioral, clinical, and educational principles to encourage positive change.

Our Engagement Measures
4-level engagement measure
Using a series of progressive assessment measures, activities, and surveys, our care team will determine each patients level of engagement with their healthcare and determine a course of training. The 4 levels include:
LEVEL
1
Disengaged. Individuals are passive and lack confidence. Health knowledge is low. Goal orientation is weak. Adherence is poor. Their perspective: “My doctor is in charge of my health.”
LEVEL
2
Becoming aware, but still struggling. Individuals have some knowledge, but large gaps remain. They believe health is largely out of their control, but can set simple goals. Their perspective: “I could be doing more.”
LEVEL
3
Taking Action. Individuals have the key facts and are building self-management skills. They strive for best practice behaviors, and are goal-oriented. Their perspective: “I’m part of my health care team.
LEVEL
4
Maintaining behaviors and pushing further. Individuals have adopted new behaviors, but may struggle in times of stress or change. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is a key focus. Their perspective: “I’m my own advocate.”
