Quality Improvement
Our CCM programs are personalized and patient-centric. There is a high amount of patient engagement. Research shows many benefits resulting from this, including:
-
Reduced hospital admissions (and re-admissions)
In one study, readmission for CCM patients was less than half (7.66%) that of the general Medicare population (15.19%).
-
Reduction in wasteful spending and redundant laboratory testing
-
Improved self-management of care
-
Higher engagement of family members and caregivers.
Patient Satisfaction
Providing CCM improves patient satisfaction. In a 2016 survey of more than 100 chronic care patients in one CCM program treated by providers using CPT code 99490, the results showed that almost 90 percent are satisfied or very satisfied with the clinical engagement services.

Cost Per Beneficiary
CMS demonstrated that spending per beneficiary participating in a CCM program dropped by over 15% from the beginning of 2015 to the end of 2016. The cost per beneficiary of $1,395 during the first six months dropped to $1,192 during the last six months.
Economic Burden
The total economic burden of chronic disease accounts for 75 % of the $2.2 Trillion dollars being spent on health care today, or $1.65 Trillion dollars.
Individuals with 2 or more chronic conditions have significantly higher annual health care resource utilization, accounting for 66% of total health care spending.
1 in 4 adults in the US, 3 in 4 seniors 65 years and older, and 2 out of 3 Medicare patients have 2 or more chronic conditions.
Together, Duchess CCM, OCHI, and Partners can help to enable physician based chronic care management services while supporting cost efficiencies for managed care payers.
