How We Help Providers
We provide you with reports that let you know exactly how the program is progressing so you can enjoy the success, without the heavy lifting that CCM programs usually involve. We built our proprietary CCM software to allow our care team to easily track time, document interactions, review patient status and report all progress back to you each month.
How We Help Serve Patients
Our 24/7 inbound nurse line is open to patients year-round to address their questions, needs and concerns. We record every patient phone call and make it available at a moment's notice, as well as document and share all activity with providers directly. No matter the report or interaction, you can expect us to document every minute with our Chronic Care Management solutions.
Identify and engage eligible Medicare beneficiaries
Medicare beneficiaries must have two chronic conditions to be eligible to participate in Chronic Care Management. Since three out of four people older than 65 have two or more chronic conditions, a large number of your patients should be eligible to participate. Additionally, the Chronic Care Management program requires that each enrolled patient have:
-
An office visit within the previous 365 days
-
20 minutes per month of non-face-to-face care
-
24/7 access to care management
Enrollment Process
Most practices that attempt an in-house CCM program enroll only 10% of their eligible Medicare patients. ChartSpan has learned that the best way to enroll CCM patients is with a group of trained Enrollment Specialists who are experts at engaging patients on the benefits of Medicare’s CCM services and overcoming patient objections. As a result, ChartSpan averages 60%+ patient enrollments. Our team will:
-
Construct Eligible Patient Lists
-
Reconcile Missing CPT Codes and Establish Coinsurance Estimates
-
Obtain Patient Consent with Proven Marketing Strategies
-
Manage the daily churn-in and churn-out of patients

CCM is Available for A Variety of Practice Types
Chronic Care Management can be billed by a variety of practice types. ChartSpan currently provides CCM services to several types of healthcare clientele including primary care, specialty practices, Federal Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), and Rural Health Clinics (RHCs).
Primary Care
- Internal Medicine
- Adult Medicine
- Family Medicine
- Geriatric Medicine
- Pain Management
- Preventative Medicine
Specialty Practices
- Rheumatology
- Nephrology
- Urology
- Gastroenterology
- Endocrinology
- Cardiology
If You Are an FQHC or RHC
Recognizing that patients who benefit the most from Chronic Care Management are served by providers who qualify for Federal Qualified Health Center (FQHC) or Rural Health Clinic (RHC) status, Medicare has made significant changes to CCM reimbursements in the past two years that can bring big advantages to your practice – and your patients.
CMS increased Chronic Care Management reimbursements from an average of $42 to more than $66 per encounter with a minimum of 20 minutes of care. The CCM billable code for this is G0511.
We’ll Work With Your EHR
The Electronic Health Record (EHR) is a crucial tool for pulling eligible CCM patient lists, pushing out patient comprehensive care plans, and billing each month. ChartSpan is the only CCM vendor to offer No-Charge Data Integrations with any EHR that does not data block.

Patient engagement will improve, and your CCM patients will be provided with a comprehensive care plan that guides them on a path to better health.
