CMS Chronic Care Management Best Practices for 2025

Course Description

CMS adding more codes and adding new concepts like Principal Care Management, fees increment etc. for the effective care management. Chronic Care Management (CCM) has become a hugely profitable endeavor for many healthcare providers. More vendors are coming to the “playground” with their software, clinical teams, and billing capabilities. Providers must be more vigilant in choosing CCM vendors because the billing is always done under providers making them accountable for everything the vendor is doing. Understanding compliance, knowing best practices, and starting off appropriately is essential for a Chronic Care Management program to be effective, compliant, and efficient.

This webinar will outline guideline changes as well as revisions made by the CMS. This session will highlight what is needed to keep providers compliant with billing Chronic Care Management services. We will discuss the new principal management code and how that plays into the care of patients. These codes will be discussed as CMS recognizes chronic care as a critical component of care that contributes to better health and care for those we serve. Expert Dr. Irina Koyfman, DNP, NP-C, RN, will review the latest CMS Medicare’s changes in care management, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), preventive care, behavioral health services and telehealth; and also guide you to how to be proactively compliance with these changes. These changes in physician payment policies can impact your practice’s reimbursement and payment systems.
