No way around it. Chronic care management (CCM) services are confusing and difficult to code correctly. Especially when you consider that once you finally get it right, Medicare changes the rules again, and 2024 is no exception.
Although mastering CCM coding rules is a massive pain in the neck, the financial payoff of getting them right can be significant. For example, submitting claims for complex chronic care management services (99487) for 20 of your patients over a year can generate an extra $32,000 for your practice (and this may be a conservative estimate, depending on your specialty).

In addition to chronic care management, there are other care management services that can also substantially impact your reimbursement if you know how to code them correctly.

Chronic Care Management Boost
Considering that there are more than 133 million patients in the US suffering from at least one chronic disease, it’s likely that you are providing care management services to at least a portion of your patients – in many instances, for free. However, it doesn’t have to be this way.
IMPORTANT: You only need 100 patients who qualify for the chronic care management monthly reimbursement to earn an additional $100,000 in 2024. These codes are not only for primary care providers — even specialists are entitled to report them. Can you really afford NOT to get paid for chronic care management services?
With a little help, you can stop forfeiting tens of thousands of dollars each year by learning how to correctly code for chronic care management, principal care management, and remote patient monitoring services. Don’t wait. Register for this online training, and in only 60 minutes, you’ll learn how to get paid for more of the care management services you provide
