Use AI to identify 'silent' patients who haven't had an office visit in 6 months but are eligible for APCM outreach.
Bundle APCM enrollment with the AWV scheduling call to increase conversion rates by up to 40%.
Monitor the 'churn rate' of enrolled patients monthly to identify if clinical touchpoints are sufficient to demonstrate value.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Medicare allows concurrent billing of APCM and Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) as long as the time requirements for each are met and documented separately.
AI automates the identification of eligible patients, handles the initial outreach calls, explains the program benefits, and captures verbal consent, saving hundreds of staff hours.
A practice with 1,000 Medicare patients can expect an additional $720,000 to $1.2M in annual revenue by fully optimizing APCM and related stacking programs.
Medicare requires documented verbal or written consent for APCM. Using AI to record and timestamp verbal consent is a compliant and efficient method.
