Chronic Care Management in San Antonio, TX
What Is Chronic Care Management?
Chronic care management (CCM) is a specific care management service offering coverage for patients with at least two chronic disorders for a continuous relationship with their individual health care team. This program includes developing a comprehensive health care plan, coordination of care between providers, medication management, and interactive remote communication and management (generally over the phone).
Chronic care management is offered at San Antonio Gastroenterology Associates and can be advantageous for patients when it comes to receiving ongoing health and wellness support. It also allows for greater access to the proper medical resources, enhanced communication with care team members, fewer emergency room visits and hospital stays or readmissions, and increased engagement in the patient’s own healthcare.
