Medicare Chronic Care Management
Chronic care management services
If you are living with two or more serious chronic conditions (such as COPD, CHF, hypertension, arthritis, and diabetes) that are expected to last at least a year, Medicare may cover the costs associated with a healthcare provider’s help in managing your care for these conditions.
What is Chronic care management?
Chronic care management involves creating a comprehensive care plan that outlines your health issues and goals, lists other healthcare providers involved in your care, details your medications, and identifies community services you are using or may need. This plan also includes other relevant information about your health and describes the care you require and how your providers will coordinate it.
Your healthcare provider will ask you to sign an agreement to receive these services on a monthly basis. If you agree, your provider will prepare the care plan for you or your caregiver, assist with medication management, provide 24/7 access for urgent care needs, support you during transitions between healthcare settings, review your medications and how you use them, and assist with other chronic care needs.
Things to know
To begin receiving chronic care management services, inquire with your insurance coverage and healthcare provider for further information.
Your costs in Original Medicare
