Chronic Care Management - CCM Q&A
What is Chronic Care Management (CCM)?
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) defines Chronic Care Management, CCM, as “care coordination services done outside of the regular office visit for patients with multiple (two or more) chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months or until the death of the patient, and that place the patient at significant risk of death, acute exacerbation/decompensation or functional decline.”
What is the purpose of Chronic Care Management?
The overarching goal of chronic care management is to help patients achieve a better quality of life through continuous care and management of their conditions. In a chronic care management program, a patient might have reduced pain and stress, increased mobility and physical fitness and better sleep and relaxation.
