Chronic Care Management

Chronic Care Management: Connecting the Dots for Patients Living with Multiple Chronic Conditions

Chronic Care Management is a Medicare Part B service that enables your primary care team to be highly engaged in managing your ongoing health. A chronic condition is defined as an ongoing medical problem that must be continuously monitored to maintain the best possible health. Examples of chronic conditions include:

  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Cancer
  • Arthritis
  • Heart disease
  • Hypertension
  • Depression

Chronic Care Management services can be delivered in a variety of locations outside a physician’s office, including online and via remote monitoring services such as those provided by First Remote Health Resources. A healthcare professional will work with you to help connect the dots and develop a personalized care plan. If you have Medicare, ask your doctor about how to obtain Chronic Care Management services, as well as how First Remote Health Resources can assist.

Unlocking Profit Potential in Chronic Care Management

Maximizing the profitability of your chronic care management (CCM) program hinges on effective cost containment during implementation. A robust CCM initiative not only lightens the workload for your nursing staff but also averts call overload by introducing a dedicated 24/7 triage team. Moreover, it can bolster your Medicare reimbursement rates – an area where our knowledgeable staff can provide tailored insights based on your specific circumstances.

Efficiency Through a First Remote Health Resources Partnership

Collaborating with First Remote Health Resources ensures that program management costs remain fixed, affording your clinic and our on-site account managers the opportunity to concentrate on presenting the program to patients while maintaining their existing responsibilities. Outsourcing CCM services eliminates the time-consuming aspects of hiring, training, and researching software or Electronic Health Record (EHR) compatibility with coding requirements. This alleviates the ongoing administrative burden associated with program management and secures long-term sustainability for the program.

Streamlining CCM Implementation

The process of implementing chronic care management encompasses a wide array of components, including training, documentation, time tracking, phone staff, on-call services, new billing codes, experienced care coordination staff, and clinic training. Many clinics find that partnering with First Remote Health Resources is a strategic choice for outsourcing these services, as opposed to shouldering the entire project in-house. First Remote Health Resources simplifies the process by handling critical aspects such as:

  • Patient eligibility extraction
  • Staff training
  • Documentation
  • Billing support

This leaves your clinic free to focus on patient care and program success.
