Principal Care Management (CCM) is a Medicare program designed to help patients manage a single complex chronic condition. Through regular check-ins, personalized care plans, and care coordination, PCM improves outcomes while reducing hospitalizations and unnecessary office visits. Our staff members handle all patient communications and relay important clinical information to your practice.
Patients with one complex chronic condition qualify for principal care management services.
We obtain patient consent prior to initiating services and provide services for a minimum of 30 minutes per month to meet time requirements set forth by CMS.
Individual care plans are created for, and in collaboration with, the patient upon PCM enrollment. These care plans act as a comprehensive guide to the patient’s goals, health history, and behavior.
Patients receive regular check-ins, medication reviews, and assistance navigating their care plan—ensuring nothing slips through the cracks.
Early intervention and consistent monitoring help identify issues before they escalate, reducing avoidable hospital stays and emergency visits.
Each patient’s care is tailored to their unique needs and updated regularly, with our care team reaching out to offer timely support and education.
Patients no longer feel alone in managing their health—they have a dedicated team they can rely on, fostering trust and better self-management.
