What a family medicine chronic care management (ccm) specialist does
A family medicine CCM specialist runs the monthly Medicare Chronic Care Management program (CPT 99490, 99439, 99487, 99489) for the practice's qualifying patients - those with two or more chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, CHF, COPD, or CKD. Each month they call enrolled patients, review medications, screen for new symptoms or barriers, update the comprehensive care plan in the EHR, and document the 20+ minutes of non-face-to-face care needed to bill the code.
They coordinate with pharmacies, home health, specialists, and family members, and flag any clinical concerns to the provider in real time.
A family medicine CCM specialist is a dedicated remote staff member who turns chronic care management into a recurring six-figure revenue line for a primary care practice while measurably improving patient outcomes between visits.

Other family medicine roles we staff
Build a complete remote team for your family medicine practice.
Annual Wellness Visit Coordinator
A family medicine Annual Wellness Visit coordinator owns the Medicare AWV program: identifying eligible patients (initial AWV vs subsequent AWV), scheduling them, completing the Health Risk Assessment over the phone in advance, pre-charting the personalized prevention plan, and ensuring the provider can complete and bill G0438 or G0439 in under 15 minutes of face time.
Learn moreCare Coordinator
A family medicine care coordinator manages the work that happens between visits - closing care gaps, following up on abnormal labs, tracking referrals to closure, coordinating hospital discharges through Transitional Care Management (TCM), and outreach for preventive screenings (mammograms, colonoscopies, A1cs, immunizations).
Learn moreInsurance Verification Specialist
A family medicine insurance verification specialist runs eligibility and benefits 48–72 hours before every visit, confirms copays, deductibles, coinsurance, and primary-care visit limits with commercial, Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid payers, and documents the breakdown directly in the EHR so the front desk can collect at check-in.
Learn moreMedical Receptionist / Front Desk
A family medicine virtual medical receptionist answers your inbound phone lines, returns voicemails, books and reschedules appointments, manages the cancellation waitlist, and greets new patients with the same warmth a great in-office front desk delivers. They monitor the patient portal, route clinical messages to the right team member, and keep the schedule tight so no provider sits idle.
Learn moreMedical Scribe
A family medicine medical scribe joins each patient encounter in real time over secure video or audio and documents the visit directly into your EHR - HPI, ROS, exam, assessment and plan, and orders - so the chart is closed before the patient leaves the room. They are trained in family medicine workflows: well visits, acute sick visits, chronic disease management for diabetes, hypertension, COPD, and CHF, and Medicare AWVs.
Learn morePatient Outreach Coordinator
A family medicine patient outreach coordinator runs proactive recall and reactivation campaigns: overdue annual physicals, Medicare AWVs, well-child visits, flu shots, mammograms, A1cs, and dormant patients who haven't been seen in 12+ months. They text, call, and email patients to get them back on the schedule, document every outreach attempt in the EHR, and track conversion.
Learn moreWhat $14/hr really buys
What $14/hr includes by default
Other vendors quote a lower hourly rate, then bill these as add-ons. At Staffing For Doctors, the four things that actually drive clinical accuracy and accountability are bundled into the same $14/hr.
US-based account management
Every account has a US-based Customer Success Manager who owns escalations, weekly check-ins, and QA review — not a shared offshore inbox.
Specialty-matched pods
Your VA is trained inside a pod built around your specialty's EHR, payer mix, and workflows across 55+ specialties — not a generalist pulled from a healthcare queue.
Weekly QA scoring with client dashboard
Every placement is scored weekly against an accuracy and turnaround rubric, and you see those scores live in your dashboard — not a monthly summary email.
HIPAA infrastructure included
BAA, audited devices, AES-256 encryption, MFA, role-based access, and audit logs are part of every engagement at no extra charge — not a compliance package billed on top.
