Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, time spent by clinical staff reviewing AI-collected data, managing automated alerts, and adjusting care plans based on AI reports counts toward the 20-minute requirement under general supervision.
APCM is often focused on the primary care level, but urologists can bill for these services if they are the primary manager of the patient's chronic urologic conditions, such as advanced prostate cancer or complex stone disease.
Generally, no. If the chronic care management is related to the surgery, it is included in the global fee. APCM can only be billed during this time if the care is for a completely unrelated chronic condition.
The most common reasons include lack of documented patient consent, failing to meet the 20-minute clinical time threshold, or billing for a patient who does not have two or more qualifying chronic conditions.
