Chronic Care Management
What is chronic care management (CCM)?
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has adopted billable codes for practices to improve payment and access to chronic care management (CCM) services for Medicare beneficiaries with two or more chronic conditions. Health care professionals have an opportunity to be separately paid for important services while improving Medicare patients’ self-management, health outcomes, and patient satisfaction.
