Monthly Recurring Clinical Monitoring - First 20 Minutes

Monthly Recurring - 20 Minutes 20 minutes
CPT code 99490 is used for non-complex (basic) Chronic Care Management (CCM) services, covering at least 20 minutes of non-face-to-face care coordination and management activities provided by clinical staff (e.g., RNs, LPNs, or other qualified personnel) under the general supervision of a billing physician or other qualified healthcare professional (QHP). This code targets Medicare patients with two or more chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months (or until death) and that place the patient at significant risk of death, acute exacerbation/decompensation, or functional decline. It differs from physician/QHP-led codes like 99491 by relying on staff time rather than direct provider involvement.
FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Commonly asked questions regarding Chronic Care Management (CCM)
Contact Us
What is Chronic Care Management?

Chronic Care Management is a Medicare program that supports patients with multiple chronic conditions through ongoing, non-face-to-face care coordination. It helps keep patients stable between visits while improving outcomes and practice efficiency.

What are the chronic care management CPT Codes?

The main CCM codes include 99490, 99439, 99491, and 99437, each tied to different time requirements and whether services are delivered by clinical staff or a provider. These codes outline how practices are reimbursed for monthly care management.

What conditions qualify for chronic care management?

Patients must have at least two chronic conditions expected to last 12 months or more, or until death. These conditions must also place them at significant risk of decline, exacerbation, hospitalization, or death. Conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, COPD, Congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, alzheimer's or other dementias, arthritis, and depression are a few common examples of conditions that would fall under these categories.

What is the difference between chronic care management and remote patient monitoring?

CCM focuses on care coordination, communication, and patient management done outside of face-to-face visits. RPM uses connected devices to gather physiological data, giving providers real-time insight into a patient’s health.

Can my practice do RPM and CCM?

Yes, practices can run both programs together as they complement each other and serve different parts of patient care. Many clinics use both to improve outcomes and earn additional recurring revenue.

Is NXT a chronic care management company?

NXT partners with leading CCM vendors to deliver a complete, turnkey solution for practices. We handle program setup, workflow support, and coordination so clinics can offer CCM without adding internal workload.

Do I need chronic care management certification or training?

Providers don’t need a special certification, but they do need a compliant workflow that meets Medicare requirements. NXT and our partners guide practices through setup, training, and ongoing best practices.
