Chronic care management
About 99491: Physician-led chronic care management
Reports at least 30 minutes of chronic care management personally furnished by a physician or qualified health care professional for an eligible patient during a calendar month.
This service coordinates ongoing care for a patient with at least two chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months or until death, when those conditions create significant risk of exacerbation, decline, or loss of function. A physician or other qualified health care professional personally performs the care-management work, which may include updating the care plan, coordinating with other treating professionals, and managing medications. Work is generally performed outside a face-to-face visit and may address conditions such as diabetes, heart failure, or COPD.
Report 99491 when the physician or qualified health care professional personally furnishes at least 30 minutes of qualifying CCM work during the calendar month. Select it based on the personally furnished time, not the combined time of the whole care team; clinical staff minutes do not meet this code’s time threshold. Documentation should support the patient’s qualifying conditions, the care plan and coordination performed, and the practitioner’s time for the month.
