Chronic Care Management Solution Brief SUMMARY
The Challenges Of Managing, Billing For Chronic Care
Tracks time and activity against all current CPT billing codes Covers both non-complex and complex CCM Automates enrollment, eligibility identification, engagement, activity tracking, reporting Integrates with existing applications Evidence-based best-in-class care plan templates
Chronic care management, defined as care for patients with 2+ chronic diseases, represents a potentially significant additional line of service offering for providers. But understanding and aligning with CMS reimbursement guidelines has been a real challenge, limiting adoption of the service. That changed in 2017. CMS has streamlined and expanded billable activities and added complex CCM to foster better outcomes and improve incentives for providers. This expansion, while increasing the benefits to providers, also increases the overhead from manually trading time and navigating how to apply billing codes. This makes it difficult for providers to extract full benefit from adopting CCM. Careskore Enables Seamless, Simplified CCM And Complex CCM CareSkore’s population health management platform eliminates most of these difficulties by automating much of the process. This allows providers to streamline the generation of CCM revenue, offer a richer set of services to CCM patients, and improve efficiency by simplifying and automating care. CareSkore applies all billing code rates as appropriate to provider activities, automatically tracks billable time spent on each encounter, provides best practice care plans per diagnosis, and offloads,via AI-driven patient engagement, some routine CCM interactions from care teams to allow them to focus on the most critical patient needs.
