CCM provides continuous support between regular visits to your doctor, with ongoing monitoring and a dedicated care coordinator to proactively manage your health.

This depends on your specific condition, but in general, it’s helpful to adopt a balanced diet, exercise regularly, and try to keep stress down. Your care team may recommend specific dietary adjustments, such as reducing sodium or increasing fiber intake, and guide you on creating a sustainable exercise routine.

Additionally, they can offer strategies for managing stress, like mindfulness practices or relaxation techniques. These changes can improve your overall well-being and help you better manage your chronic condition.

No, there isn’t a strict age requirement for enrolling in chronic care management. Eligibility is based on having one or more qualifying chronic conditions rather than age.

While many CCM participants are seniors covered by Medicare, younger adults with chronic illnesses such as diabetes, asthma, or hypertension can also enroll. Coverage may vary based on your insurance provider.

If you’re unsure whether CCM is available for your specific situation, the team at Prima Medicine can help you review your health history and insurance benefits to determine if you qualify.

Through chronic care management, your medications are reviewed regularly to ensure they’re appropriate, effective, and safe. Your dedicated care coordinator tracks your prescriptions, monitors for potential drug interactions, and keeps your medication list up to date. They also help manage refills and alert your provider if any changes are needed.

If you experience side effects or issues with adherence, you can report them during your check-ins. This consistent oversight helps prevent medication-related complications and ensures your treatment plan aligns with your health needs. It’s a convenient way to stay on top of multiple prescriptions.

During your first chronic care management consultation, you’ll speak with a care coordinator who reviews your health history, current medications, and any ongoing symptoms or concerns. They’ll help you understand how the Medsien platform works, set up your personalized care plan, and explain how often you’ll receive check-ins.

You’ll also discuss the best ways to communicate with your coordinator and what types of updates they’ll need from you. The first call is an opportunity to ask questions and clarify expectations.

Many insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicare Advantage, cover chronic care management services, but there may be a small monthly co-pay or coinsurance depending on your specific plan. The cost is usually minimal, especially compared to the expenses associated with hospitalizations or emergency care that CCM helps prevent.

Before enrolling, Prima Medicine’s staff can help you check your coverage and estimate any potential out-of-pocket costs. If you have questions about billing or insurance eligibility, they’re available to walk you through the details, so you know exactly what to expect financially before starting the program.
