Chronic Care Management (CCM): Understand how to capture incremental revenueDiagnotes, Inc.
By now you’ve likely heard that qualifying physicians can receive approximately $42/patient/month from CMS for non-face-to-face care management of patients with two or more chronic conditions. And, in many cases, with the right tracking and reporting, you may be able to capture this revenue for work your team is already doing. In just 30 minutes, you will understand the chronic care management program requirements and see how easy it is to capture and report qualifying activities.
Chronic Care Management (CCM) involves coordinating care between patient visits to improve health outcomes and reduce costs for patients with chronic conditions. Medicare now reimburses providers for CCM services, defined as at least 20 minutes per month of care coordination. To bill for CCM, providers must meet requirements such as developing comprehensive care plans, ensuring 24/7 access to care teams, and using certified EHR technology. CCM has the potential to improve chronic disease management but providers must implement services carefully to comply with Medicare's billing criteria.

1) The payment models in healthcare are shifting from fee-for-service to value-based models that tie reimbursement to quality outcomes and cost savings. This transition is being driven by rising healthcare costs, the Affordable Care Act, and commercial insurers.
2) Providers now need to accelerate preparations for managing clinical and financial risk through value-based contracts. This requires changes to business models, physician alignment, and supporting patients through the transition.
3) For organizations to succeed under value-based contracts, they must define population health strategies, implement coordinated care delivery models, and carefully sequence clinical and financial transformations to capture savings while maintaining stability.
This document summarizes a study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Phunware regarding mobile application development among midsize companies. The key findings were: 1) Providing basic mobile app features is not enough, customers expect new value-adding features; 2) Many midsize businesses lack tools to customize mobile experiences; 3) Most midsize businesses face challenges building a business case for mobile app investment due to inability to measure usage and decide on features. The document also provides recommendations for companies to focus on meeting specific customer needs with mobile apps and designing a strategic roadmap.

NCQA_Future Vision for Medicare Value-Based Payments FinalTony Fanelli
This document discusses principles for achieving an optimal future state of quality measurement to support performance-based clinician payment under MACRA. It outlines five principles: 1) Every Medicare enrollee needs a dedicated and well-organized primary care team; 2) Measurement must be specified appropriately for each different unit of accountability; 3) Measurement should support rapid improvement and clinical decision making; 4) A core set of measures will let all stakeholders make comparisons across programs; 5) Quality measure results should be easy for consumers and payers to get and use. The document emphasizes the importance of coordinated, team-based primary care and having measures tailored to different payment and delivery models.
This document discusses several models for integrated healthcare delivery systems called Integrated Delivery Network Community (IDNC). An IDNC aims to provide seamless care from "Womb to Tomb" through coordination between various providers. The goal is for primary care practices to act as hubs that connect patients to specialists, hospitals, labs, and community resources. Coordinating primary care and behavioral health is also emphasized. Examples provided include a wellness center that integrates various services under one roof, and a health home program that links patients to needed care through care coordinators. The Affordable Care Act and other policies aim to improve access to behavioral health services and their integration with primary care through provisions like increased Medicaid eligibility and parity in insurance
The document discusses how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has changed the US health insurance landscape and the challenges facing healthcare enrollment in 2015. It outlines how the ACA aimed to make quality health insurance affordable and accessible for all Americans. While the number of uninsured Americans has dropped since 2010, tens of millions remain uninsured. The upcoming open enrollment period faces challenges in engaging populations like young adults, Latinos, low-income households, and those in rural areas. Mobile technologies like text messaging are effective ways for healthcare organizations to reach these diverse groups and drive enrollment due to the widespread adoption of mobile phones.
Mobile health technology is becoming increasingly important in healthcare. Clinicians now use mobile devices extensively to access patient information, clinical references, and communicate with colleagues. Integrating mobile effectively presents challenges around selecting appropriate apps, maintaining data security, and ensuring interoperability with electronic health records. To maximize benefits, healthcare organizations should focus on supporting clinical decisions with vetted apps, enhancing workflows, enabling care coordination through secure messaging, and engaging patients through their mobile devices. Done thoughtfully, integrating mobile can improve patient care, outcomes and practice efficiency.
This document provides an overview of Tony Fanelli's career in health information technology leadership. It summarizes his 20+ years of experience in various roles within healthcare organizations, implementing electronic medical record systems. It also outlines some common issues and needs expressed by key stakeholders in healthcare such as primary care physicians, administrators, and C-suite executives regarding EMR systems like ensuring data quality, interoperability, and support for value-based care initiatives.
Florence Grant is a 68-year-old female with a history of arthritis, congestive heart failure, COPD, diabetes, hypertension, osteoporosis, shingles, and urinary incontinence. She takes 11 medications and sees 20 different providers. Her most recent appointments were in February and April 2015 for follow-ups related to her congestive heart failure and diabetes.
To provide chronic care management (CCM) services and bill Medicare, several requirements must be met:
1) Written consent from the beneficiary is required before services begin.
2) The care plan must be electronically accessible 24/7 to all providers on the care team, as well as the beneficiary.
3) At least 20 minutes per month of non face-to-face care coordination is required, including tracking time spent and services provided.
The document discusses readmissions as a major problem in U.S. healthcare, costing billions annually. It outlines various causes of readmissions including systemic failures in care transitions from hospitals to outpatient settings. These failures include inadequate preparation at discharge, poor patient education, lack of follow-up care, and poor communication between inpatient and outpatient providers. New government programs and regulations are putting pressure on hospitals to reduce preventable readmissions. The document reviews best practices for addressing readmissions, including programs that focus on patient-centered care, care coordination, and care management for high-risk patients.
The document contains copyright notices for Phytel, Inc. and describes a book about population health management. It discusses topics covered in the book like population health models, integrating data across clinical networks, leveraging predictive modeling, sources of population health ROI, automating care coordination with health IT, stratifying populations for lean care management, and provider-led patient engagement strategies. It invites the reader to purchase the full book to learn more about these and related topics.
1. Ensure your payer contracts include important protections like a "reliant on beneficiary" clause to avoid losses if incorrect insurance information is provided, and set time limits on recoupments to avoid paying back claims from long ago.
2. Understand your fee schedule by requesting it from payers in writing so you know what you should be paid for different procedures.
3. Carefully review termination criteria proposed by payers and propose your own to avoid being removed from health plans with little warning.
4. Make sure contracts include a clearly defined appeals process in writing to efficiently fight payment decisions.
5. Get any changes to contract terms in writing from payers to rely on important business

CareSync’s Chronic Care Management
Frequently Asked Questions
GETTING STARTED
What exactly IS the CCM requirement?
“Chronic care management services, at least 20 minutes of clinical staff time directed by a physician or
other qualified health care professional, per calendar month, with the following required elements: multiple
(two or more) chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months, or until the death of the patient;
chronic conditions place the patient at significant risk of death, acute exacerbation/decompensation, or
functional decline; comprehensive care plan established, implemented, revised, or monitored.” (CMS Final
Rule, October 31, 2014)
Why should I use CareSync to provide this service? Can’t I do it myself?
You could do it yourself, but do you want to?
• There’s a minimum of 20 minutes per month, and we expect that it will take quite a bit more.
• We have to stay in contact with the patients, their families, and every one of their other providers.
• We have to make our clinical staff available 24/7/365.
• We have to get medical records from all the providers, and continue to do so every time there is a visit.
• We have to translate the medical records (about 1/3 still come in via fax) into discrete fields and create
Care Reports.
• We’ve already created a secure collaboration platform and Care Reports that go beyond the CMS
requirements.
What patients/what chronic conditions are eligible?
CMS has stated they have left the ruling open to discernment by the provider. The guideline simply requires:
• Multiple (two or more) chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months, or until the death of the patient
• Chronic conditions place the patient at significant risk of death, acute exacerbation/decompensation
What providers are eligible?
CMS’ intent was to have primary care coordinate, but the code allows for any provider to perform the CCM
service. Of course, if you’re a specialized surgeon, you may not be as interested in routine chronic care, and
we would have to coordinate schedules closely, as CCM minutes do not count during the post-op period for
the CCM billing provider.
2. caresync caresync
ENROLLMENT
May I see a copy of the consent form?
Of course! CMS did not provide a standardized form, so we created one based on their requirements and our
unique service. Contact your Account Manager for a current copy.
How does the form get signed?
It’s easy with CareSync’s SignQ technology. Simply create an invite from the CareSync Admin area, and we’ll
email instructions with a digital form to the patient, and we will also provide a form to have signed in the
office when the service is prescribed. We provide materials as well, so the patient is fully informed and ready
to use it.
When can the patient be enrolled?
CMS requires the billing practitioner to furnish an Annual Wellness Visit (AWV), Initial Preventive Physical
Examination (IPPE), or comprehensive evaluation and management visit to the patient prior to billing the CCM
service, and to initiate the CCM service as part of this exam/visit.
What if a patient is eligible, but doesn’t have access to technology?
One of the best things about CareSync is that it’s designed to engage the entire family and care team. We
have found that most of our silver users love their iPads and other devices, and even if they only intended
to use them to view grandbaby pictures, they quickly master them. If a patient is eligible and doesn’t have
access to email or a device, though, we invite the appropriate caregiver and close the loop with that person.
CareSync’s Health Assistants coordinate care with the entire team on behalf of the patient, so the reports and
data are absolutely accurate and effective, even if the patient doesn’t personally engage.
What if I enroll a patient, and he isn’t qualified?
Let us know before the end of the period, and we’ll remove the plan without charge. We’d like to keep you
connected with your patients, even if they aren’t enrolled in CCM, so you can continue connecting with them
on the CareSync Pro platform and receiving the Care Reports with patient-generated data. We’ll also extend
CareSync Plus at a discounted rate of 50% off to any members who are disenrolled.
What if a patient wants to discontinue the service or switch to another CCM provider?
Only one provider may bill on any given month. The patient must notify CareSync in writing, and the service
will cease on the last day of that month.

CARESYNC’S CCM SERVICES
How does CareSync achieve each of the Medicare requirements for 99490?
Here are the specific requirements, with the CareSync coverage of each:
1. 24/7 Access to Clinical Staff. CareSync Health Assistants are available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, via
phone, email, and in-app messaging.
2. Continuity of Care. CareSync’s Health Assistants help patients schedule appointments with the designated
provider and ensure comprehensive health information is consistently shared with the entire care team.
3. Care Management. When the provider creates an Assessment and Plan, Health Assistants will obtain the
information to create tasks, medication & measurement reminders, and more important information in
a format that the patient and care team can easily understand and engage. The information is completed
and updated to the provider, who is able to adjust the care plan according to documented results. A
complete, current list of all conditions, medications, allergies, and more are always available to every
provider via a free CareSync account, and pushed monthly via Blue Button and other methods to ensure
the information is easily available at the point of care and that all providers have reconciled data.
4. Care Plan. A comprehensive Care Plan is created with the required elements: Problem list, expected
outcome and prognosis, measurable treatment goals, symptom management, planned interventions,
medication management, community/social services ordered, coordination of other agency and specialist
services, etc. To accomplish this, CareSync’s Health Specialists retrieve this information from the patient,
the patient’s care team, and the Assessment & Plan gathered from each of the patient’s active providers.
The comprehensive health information is always available to every member of the patient’s care team, as
each provider and family member is offered a free CareSync account.
5. Care Transitions. CareSync’s Health Assistants refer patients to other clinicians in a timely manner, retrieve
the records from each visit associated with the trigger event, update the patient’s information, and share it
with every member of the care team.
6. Coordination with Other Providers. Every visit with the primary care team as well as home- and community-
based providers is recorded, the Care Plan is updated, and every Provider has access to the documentation
via the free CareSync application and pushed updates. If the Plan includes a referral to another provider or
service, all the providers can view the activity associated with it.
7. Patient and Caregiver Access (Asynchronous). CareSync was created with the idea that caregivers are
often the best source of information about the patient. The revolutionary ability for families to interact
with the information, share information before the visits, listen to a recording of the doctor’s instructions,
and respond to notifications when a reminder is missed ensures that CareSync caregivers have the best
possible opportunity to facilitate patient care and give the provider a new level of useful data. Caregivers
get email and device notifications and activity summaries, and are encouraged to interact with the patient
and Health Assistants via in-app comments and notes.
4. caresync caresync
Does CareSync do anything beyond Medicare’s requirements?
We’re glad you asked! These are just a few:
• Timeline. CareSync’s trademarked Health Timeline is an important part of the patient’s history and the care
team’s understanding of what has been done lately. The most recent 30 days of Timeline activity is included
with the monthly update to all current providers.
• Caregiver Accounts. The patient’s family members and other caregivers not only have access to the
patient’s information, they are encouraged to create their own accounts so they are truly engaged with the
application.
• Medication & Measurement Reminders. Medication & measurement instructions are part of every Care
Plan, but CareSync turns it into an engaging opportunity to generate useful data and complete the
communication loop with the providers.
• Visit Planning Tools. Many patients forget what they were going the ask the doctor at a visit, and even
more forget what they were told. Patients and caregivers are encouraged to plan the visit by adding
notes and tasks that are transmitted to the provider before the visit. A voice recorder built into the app
allows the doctor’s explanations and instructions to be saved to the visit and are immediately available to
the entire care team.
• Medical Records. In order to review the patient’s Assessments and Plans, the Health Assistants get actual
medical records from each of the current providers, and records for any visit while the patient is a CCM
plan member. The records include SOAP notes, images, lab results, and anything associated with the visit.
What sort of credentials do your Health Assistants have?
A licensed physician and an experienced registered nurse oversee the daily activities of our Services
department. The Health Assistants include nurses, medical assistants, CNAs, and others.
Is your technology HIPAA-compliant?
Of course! Everyone on the CareSync team has signed the required HIPAA agreements as well.
Is CareSync a certified EMR?
No. CareSync is not an EMR, it is a collaborative, family-centered Personal Health Record. We use the same
databases that certified EMRs use to create useful information from all the records we get--even the data
from paper records is hand-keyed into discrete data fields. CMS requires that a certified EMR is used by the
billing provider, so we will get a copy of your EMR’s certification, and all the data will be available for you to
receive into your EMR.
How do you comply with the CMS electronic communication requirements?
We go beyond the minimum requirements to make sure every provider has access to all the information in
a way that works best for the practice. Information is shared on the secure CareSync platform, Blue Button
transmission of data via download or secure email so that providers can receive it into their certified EMR
systems, and we fax a backup copy to providers in case they haven’t logged in. For more information, go to
http://blog.caresync.com/caresync101/bluebutton.

CCM CODE RESTRICTIONS
Can I bill for patients I see via video or phone conference?
Exciting new guidelines are being established for telehealth medicine. Check out our website for more details
for an interesting article that talks about the possibilities.
What types of patients & care delivery systems are excluded?
Rural Health Clinics (RHC) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) may not participate, unless they
have approval to bill non-RHC or non-FQHC services.
What restrictions are there on my insurance contract?
Fee-For-Service (FFS) contracts are eligible. At this time, capitated contracts do not cover 99490 (although the
CMS ruling stated they will evaluate it).
Is there a time when a patient covered by CCM is not eligible for the service?
Yes. There are four types of services that cannot overlap with CCM services on the same day, as the care
management component is built into the other service. You must advise CareSync so we do not count these
minutes toward the CCM requirements.
• Transitional Care Management (99495, 99496)
• Home Healthcare Supervision (G0181)
• Hospice Care Supervision (G0182)
• Certain ESRD codes (90951-90970)
What if I have a patient in one of the above situations, such as a Transitional Care
Management period?
You can’t bill CCM and TCM in the same calendar month, but CareSync’s services will continue, and will cover
many, if not all, of the TCM requirements. You will receive the benefit of the service and you’ll bill a typically
higher-paying code.
BILLING DETAILS
What insurance plans will pay this code?
Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans. We understand that commercial plans are evaluating now and plan
to accept it soon.
What is the expected payment?
The average reimbursement is $43.60. The payment amount is subject to geographical adjustments, but you
can get a good idea of what your reimbursement in your area will be with the CareSync Revenue Calculator.
Go here http://info.caresync.com/ccm-revenue-calculator, choose your region, and enter in the numbers for
your practice.
6. caresync caresync
How do I know that the diagnosis codes in CareSync are the same ones I’m using to bill?
• You and your staff have unlimited access to the CareSync account.
• We will provide a Current Health Summary with the active Health Conditions each month.
• We will provide a monthly billing report with all the patients who had 20 minutes or more of CCM
services, and the report includes the active Health Conditions. We can update the patient’s Health
Summary if there are any discrepancies.
How are the care coordination minutes tracked?
Our Health Assistants use an electronic timer to track the minutes for each patient-related activity they
perform, and the totals are included in your monthly billing report.
What if you don’t achieve the required 20 minutes?
While we are certain there is enough coordination work to go way beyond the minimum time, we will notify
your staff if we don’t have enough to do for a patient. If your team has tasks associated with this patient and
can make up the difference, you’ll have the report of our minutes. If we don’t make the 20 minutes, we won’t
charge you for the month.
Is my patient responsible for any payment?
The same as any other billable code, the patient is responsible for deductibles, co-payments, and remainder
amounts according to the patient’s insurance agreement. 99490 is not exempt from cost-sharing rules,
unfortunately, so Medicare Part B patients with no secondary coverage will be responsible for about $8/month.
The intent of the code is to reduce costs for all parties, including the patient. Better coordination means fewer
visits, which in turn reduces the patient’s overall out-of-pocket expenses.
What are the billing details?
According to the AAFP interpretation, the following should be used for billing:
• Date From/Date To: First and last days of the month. Do not bill before the month has ended.
• Location: Use your usual location for where you see patients for evaluation & management.
All other details should match your normal coding procedures. Make sure you have recorded the exact
times for the 20 minutes of service that were performed in case of an audit!
