CMS Care Plan Requirements
4 questionsCMS requires a comprehensive, individualized care plan for every APCM-enrolled patient. This must include 13 specific service elements, such as a problem list, expected outcomes, measurable goals, medication management, and coordination with outside resources. The plan must be stored electronically and accessible to all providers in the care team 24/7.
Care plans must be updated regularly as the patient’s status changes, following a hospital discharge, or at minimum, during periodic clinical reviews. CMS expects the care plan to be a 'living document' that reflects the current clinical reality of the patient, with documentation showing that the plan was reviewed, revised, and acted upon by the care team.
Audit-proof documentation must demonstrate that the care plan was shared with the patient or caregiver, that the patient consented to the plan, and that the clinical staff actively monitored the patient's progress toward goals. TileHealthcare’s AI can automate the logging of these interactions, providing a time-stamped audit trail for the required 7-year retention period.
Yes, CMS requires that a copy of the care plan be provided to the patient or their caregiver. This can be done via a patient portal, secure email, or a physical copy. Documenting that the patient received and understood the plan is a critical component of APCM compliance and billing eligibility.
