APCM vs CCM Revenue Calculator | Transition Financial Modeler

Compare annual revenue between CCM and the new APCM model. Model your risk-stratified patient panels and see the financial impact of transitioning.

Transitioning from time-based CCM to risk-stratified APCM requires a fundamental shift in financial modeling. This calculator helps you compare your current CCM revenue against projected APCM earnings based on your patient risk distribution and the elimination of manual time-tracking overhead.

How this calculator works

We calculate your current CCM annual revenue and compare it against the three-tiered APCM reimbursement structure (Level 1, 2, and 3) using 2026 Medicare national averages. The model accounts for the removal of the 20-minute minimum requirement in favor of a flat monthly fee per attributed patient.

Assumptions
  • Calculations use 2026 Medicare national average non-facility payment rates.
  • Assumes 100% of current CCM patients are successfully transitioned to an appropriate APCM tier.
  • Does not account for sequestration or geographic practice cost indices (GPCI) adjustments.
  • Assumes no concurrent billing of CCM and APCM for the same patient in the same month.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, CMS prohibits billing APCM (G0551-G0553) and CCM (99490, 99491) for the same patient in the same calendar month.

Unlike CCM, which requires a minimum of 20 minutes of staff time, APCM is a monthly bundled payment based on patient risk, significantly reducing administrative burden.

Levels are determined by the number of chronic conditions and social risk factors, with Level 1 for low risk, Level 2 for moderate, and Level 3 for high-complexity patients.
