What is CMS’ CCM incentive program?

3

Under CMS’ Chronic Care Management program, effective Jan 1, 2015, physician practices can charge $42 per month for 20 minutes of non face-to-face chronic care per patient.

Key Facts: • There may be some patient responsibility. • Medicare Advantage plans will have to cover CCM. • Only physicians, advanced NPs, PAs, clinical nurse specialists,

and certified midwives can bill Medicare for CCM. • Not covered: transitional care management, home healthcare

supervision, hospice care supervision, and certain end stage renal disease services in the month billed.

• CCM is not recognized as an RHC (Rural Health Center) service. • Providers can contract with a third party to provide non

face-to-face care management services.

Why is the CCM program important to you?

4

The following CDC statistics emphasize the growing challenges of managing chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and mental illness:

• 85% of healthcare funding goes to treatment of chronic diseases.

• 133 million Americans experience at least one chronic disease.

• 70% of all deaths result from chronic diseases.

• More than two thirds of Medicare spending goes to patients with five or more chronic diseases.

How can you participate in the program?

5

• Identify patients that qualify -- Medicare patients with multiple chronic conditions, significant risk of death, or functional decline.

• Create a care plan and develop a Patient Consent Form. (Sample form in our CCM white paper.)• Provide 20 minutes or more of non face-to-face chronic care per month per patient.• Provide 24/7 access for patients with their healthcare providers for CCM services and to

coordinate care among providers.• Apply appropriate CPT codes (CPT 99490, CPT 99487, CPT 99489). • Use of EHR required. • Consider an application such as Discharge IQ that helps

to manage the CCM program.

What is Discharge IQ?

Discharge IQ is a new, simple healthcare technology – an application built for a smartphone or tablet –which is completely focused on managing patients with complex chronic diseases.

How many of you know someone with a chronic condition? A recent article in USA TODAY notes that 10,000 seniors cost Medicare $1 Billion.

According to the CDC 50% of American adults have a chronic disease, and 85% of all healthcare spending is on patients with one or more chronic diseases.

Why Discharge IQ?

7

• Medicare will spend $17B on the program.

• There are other solutions that say they monitor chronic care, but focus on monitoring fitness & wellness.

• DischargeIQ was developed based on clinical protocols.

• It was developed specifically to manage and monitor chronic patients’ care and their data.

How does the physician benefit?

"This made so much sense and helped to organize CCM that we decided to enroll even our non-Medicare patients so they too would clinically benefit."

- Dr. Alan Einstein,Alpharetta Internal Medicine
