Dipak Nandi : Leverage The Sunknowledge Advantage for Chronic Care Management

Chronic Care Management Services is the activities performed by the healthcare professionals helping the patients who are suffering from chronic diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea etc. It is true that recognizing the ultimate value with CCM can help you in delivering better healthcare outcomes as well as reducing the healthcare expenses simultaneously.

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid adopted a service code on Jan 2015, to attain this objective. CPT code 99490 reimburses the physicians as well as other eligible professionals in the healthcare space, $43 approximately per patient on a monthly basis (as of Jan 2017).

The program did change in 2017, with the success of CPT 99490 and the rise of the demand from the healthcare providers, prompting more reimbursements and new codes. The expansion of the CCM program did happen while providing the additional opportunities with revenue.

  • For 60 minutes, CPT 99487 increases the process of reimbursement for complex Chronic Care Management
  • CPT 99489 that can only be reported in alliance with CPT 99487 is applicable for additional 30 minutes and increases the reimbursement for complexities
  • A onetime code (Add- on code G0506) is used to reimburse the providers, $65.34 on an average for any extra time which would be a part of a typical visit. Instead, it is required for initiating CCM services and creates a competent care plan for the patient.
  • On the other hand, CPT 99487 reimburses $94 for a period of 60 minutes for any non face to face coordination while CPT 99489 reimburses $47 for additional 30 minutes approximately.

It is crucial to provide the full scope of services each month to every patient that fall under your CCM program and CPT 99490. To meet the requirements, it is important to find the resources, technology and time. As evidenced by the Center for Medicare and Medicaid, they completely acknowledged the fact that there were discrepancies in how much it took to provide the care that was appropriate.
