Two or more chronic conditions that are expected to last at least 12 months typically qualify. These conditions must place the patient at significant risk of worsening health, hospitalization, or functional decline. Common qualifying diagnoses include diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, COPD, arthritis, and chronic kidney disease.
What is the purpose of chronic care management?
The purpose is to improve health outcomes and prevent complications. Chronic care management helps patients stay on track with treatment plans, medications, and follow up care.

Patients with two or more qualifying chronic conditions may be eligible. Eligibility is typically determined by a healthcare provider. The conditions must be expected to last at least a year or until the end of life and require ongoing medical attention.
What is a chronic care management program?
A chronic care management program is a coordinated care plan managed by a healthcare team. It includes regular check ins, medication management, personalized care plans, and access to support between office visits. These programs are designed to ensure that patients with chronic conditions receive continuous, organized care rather than only being treated during in person appointments.
