Chronic care management services

If you have 2 or more serious chronic conditions (like arthritis and diabetes) that you expect to last at least a year, Medicare may pay for a health care provider’s help to manage your care for those conditions.

Your costs in Original Medicare

After you meet the Part B deductible , you pay coinsurance for these services.

What it is

Chronic care management includes: 

  • A comprehensive care plan that lists your health problems and goals, other providers, medications, community services you have and need, and other information about your health.
  • 24/7 access to urgent care needs.
  • Support when you go from one health care setting to another.
  • Review your medicines and how you take them.
  • Help you with other chronic care needs.

Things to know

  • Your health care provider will ask you to sign an agreement for you to get this set of services on a monthly basis. If you agree to get these services, your provider will prepare a care plan for you or your caregiver that explains the care you need and how your providers will coordinate it.
  • To get started, ask your health care providers if they offer chronic care management services.
