CMS Supports Care Coordination Beyond Chronic Care Management

The advent of CPT 99490 on January 1, 2015 by no means marks the end of CMS’s dedication to care coordination. CMS recently announced its Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+) program that “is a national advanced primary care medical home model that aims to strengthen primary care through a regionally-based multi-payer payment reform and care delivery transformation.” This program is a 5 year program to start January 2017.

The program compensates providers on a per patient basis up to $100 per month for complex patients for delivering care coordination to ALL patients – this is a multi-payer program (not restricted to Medicare alone).

CareHarmony’s outcome-driven care coordination processes are geared towards new value-based care initiatives such as CPC+ and is in the process of looking for provider partners to implement the CPC+ program to benefit both the patient and the provider. Please contact us through the website if you are an interested provider.
