Chronic Care Management

What is Chronic Care Management (CCM)?

It is a Medicare benefit that provides people with multiple chronic conditions with additional support. At the center of the program is a comprehensive care plan, developed in collaboration with your health care team (including your doctor, nurse practitioner, nurses, respiratory therapists, and support staff), and updated monthly. The program prioritizes care coordination and focuses on your goals and quality of life within the context of your conditions. The Chronic Care Management program has helped more than 500 community members with their health care needs and has reduced hospital admissions by 90%.

People who want to take an active role in their health care stand to benefit most from this specific type of medical intervention. If you're eligible for Medicare, you may qualify for the Medicare Chronic Care Management Program. Participants often report feeling more connected to their health care while receiving more coordinated, goal-oriented attention.

CCM could be right for you.

Ask your healthcare providers if you are a candidate for the program. If you have two or more chronic conditions, you may be eligible.

CCM partners with your care team.

We love helping people receive quality between-visit care management. We collaborate with patients and providers using evidence-based care coordination practices that reduce hospital readmissions and improve medication adherence.

CCM also works with these ECRMC programs to elevate your care:
