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.

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.
