Many practices currently perform CCM services without compensation. Older patients with chronic medical conditions face numerous challenges with medication compliance, adherence to diet and exercise regimens, their physical environment, activities of daily living and with meeting their psychosocial needs. The CCM program provides funding that will allow practices to engage and assist patients in their homes and in the community.

CCM services can be provided by physicians and other "billable" providers, but also be clinical staff members such as RNs, LPNs, and in many states certified medical assistants.

CCM is an extremely valuable program for your patients and it can significantly supplement the income of the practice. We will help you determine if CCM services are a good fit for your practice and the steps needed to implement a thriving CCM program. We will also provide you with software (CCMTrack) that will supplement your EHR and make it very straightforward to capture CCM encounter details, track the number of minutes, and manage your entire CCM population. CCMTrack was built with Medicare compliance as a primary consideration, and our services will help you maintain compliance with this unique Medicare program. It is a Cloud-based platform that is easily accessible from PCs, MACs, and tablets.

Under CPT code 99490, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will pay clinicians an average of $42 for spending at least 20 minutes in non-face-to-face consults. The exact amount varies by geographic location, but CCM services payments can range from approximately $38 to $48 per month.
