Question 1

How does ModMed integrate with APCM billing workflows?

Accepted Answer

ModMed integrates with APCM through its EMA and gMED platforms by utilizing specialty-specific templates that allow for the documentation of chronic care management. Tile Healthcare’s AI call center connects via API to ensure that every patient interaction is logged directly into the ModMed timeline, facilitating seamless billing for APCM codes.

Question 2

Can I customize EMA templates for APCM documentation?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ModMed allows for the customization of EMA templates to include APCM-specific documentation layers. This ensures that specialty practices, such as dermatology or orthopedics, can capture the necessary care coordination data required by CMS without disrupting their existing clinical workflows.

Question 3

What API setup is required for Tile Healthcare and ModMed?

Accepted Answer

Tile Healthcare utilizes the ModMed API to sync patient lists and interaction logs. The setup involves configuring OAuth credentials within the ModMed developer portal to allow our AI to read patient eligibility and write back call summaries and enrollment status directly into the patient's chart.

Question 4

How does AI automation handle specialty-specific chronic care documentation?

Accepted Answer

Our AI is trained on specialty-specific terminology used in ModMed, such as IBD management for gastroenterology or chronic skin condition tracking for dermatology. It ensures that the documentation generated reflects the specialty context, meeting the high standards required for APCM billing.

Question 5

Does ModMed support real-time data syncing for APCM?

Accepted Answer

ModMed supports real-time data updates through its robust API. When Tile Healthcare’s AI completes an enrollment call or a monthly check-in, the data is instantly reflected in the ModMed EHR, ensuring the billing team has the most current information for monthly APCM claims.

Question 6

How do we identify APCM-eligible patients within ModMed?

Accepted Answer

Practices can use ModMed’s analytics and reporting tools to query patients with two or more chronic conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or chronic psoriasis. Tile Healthcare then uses this data to initiate automated outreach for APCM enrollment, targeting patients who are often overlooked in specialty settings.

Question 7

How does Tile Healthcare’s AI facilitate the enrollment process?

Accepted Answer

The AI performs outbound calls to eligible patients identified in ModMed, explaining the benefits of APCM and obtaining the necessary verbal consent. This process is recorded and summarized, with the enrollment status automatically updated in the ModMed patient record.

Question 8

Can ModMed automate the APCM consent process?

Accepted Answer

While ModMed provides the platform for documentation, Tile Healthcare provides the automation. Our AI handles the heavy lifting of patient education and consent gathering, then pushes the signed or verbal consent documentation into the ModMed document management system.

Question 9

Which chronic conditions in specialty practices qualify for APCM?

Accepted Answer

Common qualifying conditions found in ModMed specialty practices include chronic inflammatory diseases, osteoarthritis, chronic kidney disease, and severe asthma. Our AI is configured to recognize these ICD-10 codes within your ModMed database to prioritize outreach.

Question 10

Does the ModMed patient portal play a role in APCM enrollment?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the ModMed patient portal can be used to send follow-up information after an AI-driven enrollment call. Tile Healthcare can trigger portal messages that include APCM program details, ensuring patients have a digital reference of their enrollment.

Question 11

What are the primary APCM billing codes used in ModMed?

Accepted Answer

The primary codes for APCM include G0511 for FQHCs/RHCs and various specialty-specific chronic care codes. Within ModMed, these codes must be mapped to the appropriate fee schedule to ensure accurate reimbursement for the care coordination provided by the specialty team.

Question 12

How do we prevent duplicate APCM billing between specialty and primary care?

Accepted Answer

Tile Healthcare’s AI checks for existing care management enrollment during the initial outreach. By documenting these findings in the ModMed 'Internal Notes' or 'Care Coordination' fields, we help your billing team avoid dual-billing conflicts with the patient’s primary care provider.

Question 13

What is the revenue potential for APCM in a ModMed specialty practice?

Accepted Answer

Specialty practices on ModMed often see a significant revenue increase by capturing APCM reimbursements for their existing chronic patient base. By automating the monthly outreach and documentation, the overhead is minimized, allowing the practice to retain more of the APCM payment.

Question 14

How does AI reduce administrative overhead for ModMed billing teams?

Accepted Answer

AI automates the tracking of non-face-to-face time, which is a key requirement for APCM. Instead of staff manually logging minutes in ModMed, the AI automatically records the duration and nature of every patient interaction, providing a ready-to-bill log for the end of the month.

Question 15

Is ModMed certified for CMS APCM requirements?

Accepted Answer

Yes, ModMed is a certified EHR that meets CMS requirements for APCM billing. When paired with Tile Healthcare’s automated documentation, your practice can confidently meet all compliance standards, including the 24/7 access to care requirements.
