APCM & CCM Revenue Basics
4 questionsAdvanced Primary Care Management (APCM) allows endocrinologists to bill for non-face-to-face care coordination. For endocrine practices, this typically involves managing diabetic panels, adjusting insulin regimens, and coordinating with nutritionists. AI call handling ensures the required 20 minutes of monthly clinical staff time is reached and documented automatically.
Conditions such as Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, chronic thyroiditis requiring levothyroxine titration, adrenal insufficiency, and metabolic syndrome with associated hypertension or obesity qualify. These chronic conditions require continuous monitoring, making them ideal for the recurring revenue models provided by CCM and APCM.
No, you cannot bill both for the same patient in the same month. Most endocrinology practices choose the code set that best reflects their patient complexity and documentation capabilities. APCM often offers a more streamlined billing path for high-volume diabetic practices using AI to manage outreach.
Medicare requires strict documentation of the time spent on non-face-to-face care. TileHealthcare's AI agents log the exact duration of every patient check-in, from A1C lab reminders to insulin titration follow-ups, providing an automated audit trail that justifies monthly billing codes without manual data entry.
