As our population ages, more and more of your patients are likely to have at least one chronic condition. And, as you know, these patients are more complex and can require significantly more of your time to treat and help them cope with their illnesses. In the past, this meant that you would lose money when treating your sickest patients…but not anymore.
Over the past few years, CMS has expanded coverage for chronic care management (CCM) including CPT codes for Complex Chronic Care, Psychiatric Collaborative Care Management and Behavioral Health Integration.
Mastering how to correctly apply and bill these codes can get you paid for services you’ve been providing for free for years. CMS is moving toward a quality vs. quantity model, and this can work to your advantage — if you know how to correctly submit and support your claims.
Inside this brand-new expert report, Chronic Care Management Coding – Your Step-by-Step CCM Coding Guide to Help You Ethically Get Paid More for the Services You Provide to Your Sickest Patients, created in collaboration with nationally recognized coding expert Kim Garner Huey, MJ, CHC, CPC, CCS-P, PCS, CPCO, you can follow our expert’s step-by-step approach and finally get paid for the Chronic Care Management (CCM) services that your practice provides. Your office will be able to administer CCM, ethically boost your reimbursement, and ensure the outcomes that you, your providers, patients, and CMS want to achieve.
Here are just a few of the expert chronic care management tactics you’ll receive by utilizing this expert report:
- Get paid even more for greater complexity and longer duration services (99487 and 99489)

Or, if you have a 100 patients who qualify for complex CCM you could receive an additional $168,816 annually. Can you really afford NOT get paid for these services?
