Hiring a chronic care management specialist in Illinois
A chronic care management (CCM) specialist runs the monthly Medicare CCM program for qualifying patients with two or more chronic conditions. Each month they call enrolled patients, review medications, screen for new symptoms, update the care plan in the EHR, and document the 20+ minutes of non-face-to-face care needed to bill CPT 99490, 99439, 99487, and 99489.
Illinois has more than 45,000 active physicians, with the Chicago metro accounting for the bulk of practice volume. Strong demand from dermatology, dental, primary care, and behavioral health groups.
What a Illinois chronic care management specialist does
Our CCM specialists also own the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) program — Health Risk Assessments, personalized prevention plan prep, and pre-charting so the provider can complete and bill G0438 or G0439 in under 15 minutes of face time. They turn chronic care management into a recurring six-figure revenue line for primary care practices while measurably improving patient outcomes.
