Providers spend a significant amount of time in between visits managing their most complicated, chronically ill patients without reimbursement. All that changed in 2015, when Medicare began paying for CCM services (CMS, 2019). However, many providers still choose not to participate in CCM due to multiple layers of complicated requirements. According to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), it is estimated that only 9% of Medicare fee-for-service beneficiaries received the Chronic Care Management, Transitional Care Management, and Advance Care Planning services. CMS acknowledged that those codes are being underutilized and encouraged providers to get more involved with them (2019). The most significant changes happened in 2022 when CMS dramatically increased CCM reimbursement. This presentation will demystify the complexity of the process. We will discuss each required element for CCM billing. We will showcase how CCM applies to the quadruple aim by increasing patients and provider satisfaction, reducing the cost of care, and increasing the quality of care.

  • Review CMS’s Chronic Care Management (CCM) and Principal Care Management (PCM) requirements
  • Examine the Scope of Services required to bill Medicare for CCM services
  • Identify how CCM can close care gaps and engage patients
  • Assess the financial and quality implications of incorporating CCM in your practice
