Video Summary

The video content summarizes the key points related to chronic care management (CCM) and billing and coding in home-based primary care. CCM is a service that allows providers to bill for non-face-to-face time spent managing the care of patients with multiple chronic conditions. Consent from patients and the use of certified EHR technology are required. There are specific codes for CCM services, including 99490 for 20 minutes of non-face-to-face time and 99491 for up to 60 minutes per month. An add-on code, G2061, is available for additional time spent creating care plans. Providers must track CCM time and activities in real-time and ensure electronic signatures and sufficient time documentation for audits.<br /><br />The workshop on video content summarizing focused on the importance of detailed documentation for various services in home-based primary care, including chronic care management, transitional care management, advanced care planning, and cognitive assessment and care planning visits. It emphasized the need for specific information on time spent, activities performed, and discussions conducted during these services. Participants were encouraged to stay updated on coding and documentation requirements through resources like Medicare Administrative Contractor listservs and CMS newsletters.
