CCM services can be furnished for Medicare patients having two or more chronic conditions who are at significant risk of death, functional decline, or acute decompensation. CCM activities include those supporting comprehensive care management for patients outside of the office setting. Services involve interactions with patients by telephone or secure email to review medical test results and records or provide self-management education and support. Services also include engagement with the patient’s other healthcare providers to exchange health data, as well as managing the care transitions and coordination of home and community-based services. CCM ensures that patients have 24/7 access to physicians or other qualified healthcare professionals or clinical staff to address urgent needs.

A disease or condition is considered chronic when it lasts a year or more, limits the activities of daily life, or requires ongoing medical attention.
