Chronic care management services
Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) may pay for a health care provider’s help to manage your care if you’re eligible.
Description
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.
Coverage details
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.
Who's eligible
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.
Costs
After you meet the Part B deductible , you pay coinsurance for these services.
