Chronic Care Management Services:
Here's the
deal... Physicians are starting to be incentivized (and penalized) for
their performance with respect to their chronic patients, but there's a
reimbursement associated with it.
The reimbursement is for patients with two or more chronic conditions in a practice with a certified EMR
(Electronic Medical Record) system. The reimbursement has two levels.
The first level, reimbursed at $42/month, requires a 20 minute check-in
(e.g., on the phone) with the patient. The second, reimbursed at almost
$100, requires telehealth.
Home care agencies can put a program in
place where your best aides are paid $10 for a 20 minute check-in call.
If you charge $32 for this service (leaving a $10 margin for the
referring practice) and allocate some of the revenue to your staff
nurses and for software, you can provide a great service and make a
reasonable margin.

to help transition patients from hospital to home. Most hospitals are
