How Does It Work?
Improved Health
Chronic Care Management refers to the remote monitoring and support of Medicare beneficiaries above the age of 65, who have multiple (two or more) chronic health conditions.
Healthcare providers utilize our CCM program to coordinate and monitor patients’ health, medication adherence, and lifestyle adjustments, which leads to an improvement in patient health. For their services, healthcare providers are reimbursed accordingly.
Improved Revenue
CPT code 99490 is a healthcare billing code used for chronic care management (CCM) services. This code is used to bill for non-face-to-face care coordination services provided to patients with multiple (two or more) chronic conditions, expected to last at least 12 months or until death.

EHR Integration with Rev+ Medicare
Chronic Care Program
The information will be fed into the EHRs, and the upload process will be dependent on the EHR integration, affecting the timing and speed of the transfer.
A PDF can be regenerated as needed, incorporating all new additional notes and information. As administrators, we have access to these updated reports. Providers may not have direct access to the patient PDFs unless they are directly fed into the EHR records. The ability to upload the updated reports will depend on the EHR system in use.
Readings are included in the patient’s PDF report along with notes, alerts, transmissions, time tracking, and patient information. The patient’s PDF report provides a summary of the readings and an overall view of each reading they took.
From the medical billing side for RPM, Neolytix handles the billing and takes extra care because if we don’t get reimbursements, we can’t charge our clients as in accordance with our RPM policy.

How others benefited from working with Neolytix
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
Chronic care management services refer to services that are not provided in person, but rather are offered to Medicare beneficiaries with at least two chronic conditions that are expected to last for a minimum of 12 months or until the patient’s death.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) acknowledges the importance of CCM services as fundamental elements of primary care that enhance wellness and lower healthcare expenditures.
Implementing Medicare Chronic Care Management services can provide several benefits for both patients and healthcare providers. Some reasons why Medicare CCM may be beneficial include:
- Improved patient outcomes CCM services are designed to help patients manage their chronic conditions and promote better health outcomes. By providing regular check-ins, care coordination, and support, CCM services can help patients avoid complications, reduce hospitalizations, and improve their overall quality of life.
- Increased revenue for healthcare providers: By providing CCM services, eligible healthcare providers can receive reimbursement from Medicare, which can help increase their revenue streams. Additionally, providing CCM services can help improve patient satisfaction and loyalty, leading to increased business for the healthcare provider.
- Reduced healthcare costs: By helping patients better manage their chronic conditions, CCM services can help reduce healthcare costs associated with hospitalizations, emergency department visits, and other expensive treatments. This can help lower overall healthcare expenditures for both patients and payers.
These physicians and Non-Physician Practitioners (NPPs) may bill CCM services:
- Physicians
- Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs)
- Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs)
- Nurse Practitioners (NPs)
- Physician Assistants (PAs)
They must also have an established relationship with the patient and must use an electronic health record (EHR) system that meets certain requirements to document and report the CCM services. Take note of the different codes used for billing between NPPs and physicians.
CPT code 99491: Time only the billing practitioner spends. Clinical staff NPPs’ time doesn’t count.
CPT codes 99487, 99489, and 99490: Time spent directly by NPPs. Practitioner time is also allowed if not billed under 99491 already.
Medicare reimburses for Chronic Care Management (CCM) services on a monthly basis, meaning that eligible healthcare providers can receive payment for each month that they provide CCM services to an eligible patient. It’s important to note that Medicare may also reimburse for additional services provided in conjunction with CCM, such as transitional care management, advance care planning, and annual wellness visits, among others. However, the reimbursement rates for these services may differ from that of CCM services. The rates below are based on national averages.
The CPT codes used to report CCM services are:
- CPT code 99437 $49.98
30 additional minutes of provider time (no limit) - CPT code 99439 ($47.44)
Each additional 20 minutes of clinical staff time spent providing non-complex CCM directed by a physician or other qualified health care professional (billed in conjunction with CPT code99490) - CPT code 99490 ($62,69)
