Frequently Asked Questions
G0556 is for basic APCM services, while G0558 is for high-complexity patients. Documentation for G0558 must reflect a higher level of medical decision-making and more intensive coordination of multiple chronic conditions.
CMS requires 24/7 access to care management. AI-powered call centers satisfy this by providing immediate triage, logging interactions directly into the EHR, and ensuring no patient request goes undocumented.
No, a single documented consent is sufficient as long as it is recorded in the EHR and the patient is informed they can opt out at any time.
