Medicare Billing and Eligibility
4 questionsG0556 is for patients with a single chronic condition, G0557 is for two or more, and G0558 is for complex cases requiring high-level medical decision-making. Our AI platform automatically categorizes your Medicare panel based on EHR data, ensuring you bill the highest appropriate level for every patient encounter without manual auditing by your clinical staff.
Eligibility is determined by the number of chronic conditions and the complexity of the care required. Our system scans your primary care panel to identify these patients, flagging those eligible for APCM and prioritizing them for enrollment calls to maximize your practice's monthly recurring revenue and ensure no qualifying patient is overlooked.
No, APCM is designed to replace or enhance CCM for primary care. You cannot double-bill G0556-G0558 with traditional CCM codes like 99490 in the same month. Our automation system prevents billing overlaps by tracking service dates and code requirements across your entire patient population, protecting your practice from potential Medicare billing errors.
APCM codes are billed once per calendar month, provided all service elements are met. Our tracking dashboard provides a real-time view of your Medicare panel, showing exactly which patients have met their monthly requirements and which need a check-in, preventing revenue leakage by ensuring every eligible patient is serviced and billed correctly.
