According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), nearly half of the adults in the U.S.—some 117 million people—have one or more chronic health conditions. This population accounted for 86 percent of healthcare spending. These means half of the country was responsible for 86 percent of the cost of care. 

The Centers for Medicare and Medication Services (CMS), the organization that sets reimbursement rates for Medicare (most private insurers follow suit) reviewed chronic care management and developed new standards and reimbursement codes to encourage out-of-office preventative care. Chronic care management has come to be an umbrella term of care delivered under CPT 99490, which reimburses healthcare providers for at “non-face-to-face” services delivered to qualifying patients. 

As of January 1, 2015, Medicare now pays for Chronic Care Management (CCM). CCM payments will reimburse the practitioner for “non-face-to-face” services to qualified beneficiaries over a calendar month. CMS has adopted CPT 99490 for Medicare CCM services.

Physicians and practices have sought support implementing CCM due to the regulatory and infrastructure requirements. UMM offers a completely turnkey, outsourced UMM service that allows providers to quickly get up and running and focus on patient care, not on technology and compliance.
