Under the 2015 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, providers have an opportunity to earn reimbursement for Chronic Care Management (CCM) services. Here’s what it’s about and how NextGen Healthcare can help!
What is CCM?
Under the CCM rules, providers may bill a new code (99490) for patients with two or more chronic conditions based on 20 minutes or more of non-face-to-face care management services. With provider reimbursement set at approximately $40 per patient per month, there is a sizable potential upside. At the same time, the CCM rules and requirements are complex.
NextGen Healthcare has studied the regulations and developed a solution to help you meet CMS requirements and build a CCM Program for you practice or organization.
