What is Chronic Care Managment?
Chronic Care Management is a care coordination program designed by Medicare to help patients better manage their chronic conditions. It was designed to give you greater support and access to care between office visits, even while at home.
What is a chronic condition?
A chronic condition is an ongoing, long-lasting health condition, which will require continual management and treatment. Left untreated, a chronic condition can hinder independence and negatively impact health. Examples of chronic conditions include asthma, diabetes, arthritis, hypertension, and heart disease.
What is care coordination?
Care Coordination is the deliberate organization of patient care activities and sharing information among all of the participants concerned with a patient’s care to achieve safer and more effective care. Care Coordination services (like those that are part of Medicare’s Chronic Care Management program) provide extra layers of support and care between doctor visits to eligible patients who have two or more chronic conditions.
