Frequently Asked Questions

Medicare typically attributes the patient to the provider who provides the plurality of primary care services. We recommend using automated attribution logic that tracks encounter frequency to assign the billing provider correctly.

AI call handling is designed to augment, not replace, care managers. It handles the repetitive tasks of screening, education, and consent capture, allowing care managers to focus on clinical interventions.

APCM requires a single billing NPI per patient per month. In multi-site groups, it is critical to ensure that only one location or provider submit the G0511/G0512 claim to avoid denials.

By using NPI-specific tracking within your billing software, you can attribute APCM revenue and enrollment growth directly to the individual providers, facilitating fair revenue allocation.

Yes, APCM engagement directly supports several MIPS quality measures related to chronic care and care coordination, which can lead to higher incentive payments for the entire group.
