How Chronic Care Management Can Benefit Providers and Patients

How Chronic Care Management Can Benefit Providers and Patients

A session led by Irina Koyfman, DNP, NP-C, RN, at the National Association of Managed Care Physicians (NAMCP) Spring Managed Care Forum 2023 detailed the potential of CCM billing for physicians who are not currently doing it and recommendations for optimizing the process. Koyfman, who is the CEO of Affinity Care Expert, has been advising providers on use of CCM for years.

The main Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code she focused on is CCM, which is billed monthly in 20-minute intervals and covers all of the care coordination activities that go along with treating complex patients with multiple chronic conditions. In 2019, she noted, CMS announced it had received positive patient and practitioner satisfaction feedback and cost savings attributed to the advent of CCM.
