Care management
About 99490: Chronic care management, clinical staff first 20 minutes
Monthly clinical staff care management for patients with at least two qualifying chronic conditions, reported after 20 minutes in a calendar month.
This service coordinates care for patients with at least two chronic conditions expected to last 12 months or until death and posing significant risk of death, acute exacerbation, or functional decline. Clinical staff working under a physician or qualified health care professional may review medications, update the care plan, coordinate with specialists or home health, and follow up by phone or portal. Primary care and internal medicine practices commonly furnish this care between visits.
Report 99490 once per calendar month when clinical staff time reaches 20 minutes; report each additional full 20 minutes with 99439. Document consent, qualifying conditions, the comprehensive care plan, activities performed, and the time spent. For new patients or those not seen in the prior year, CMS requires an initiating face-to-face visit, such as an E/M visit, annual wellness visit, or initial preventive physical examination. Staff may furnish CCM under general supervision. Only one practitioner may bill CCM for a patient in a calendar month.

99490 billing questions
How does 99490 differ from 99491?
99490 counts clinical staff time directed by the billing practitioner, with a 20-minute threshold. 99491 requires at least 30 minutes personally spent by the physician or qualified health care professional.
Can 99490 and 99487 be billed in the same month?
No. Complex CCM under 99487 requires at least 60 minutes of staff time, moderate or high complexity medical decision making, and establishment or substantial revision of the care plan. Report the code supported by that month's work.
How is time beyond the first 20 minutes reported?
Report 99439 with 99490 for each additional full 20 minutes of clinical staff time in the calendar month. The first additional unit requires at least 40 total minutes.
What consent documentation is needed?
Record that the patient agreed, verbally or in writing, to receive CCM and was informed about cost sharing and the right to stop the service. Obtain consent before the first billed month.
Can 99490 be billed with transitional care management?
Yes. CCM and transitional care management under 99495 or 99496 may be reported for the same month when each service's requirements are met. Do not count the same minutes toward both.
Does face-to-face visit time count toward the 20 minutes?
Do not count time spent furnishing a separately billed E/M visit. Count documented clinical staff time spent on qualifying CCM activities, whether those activities occur in person or remotely.
