Chronic Care Management for Memory Care — Powered by PointClickCare + CCN Health

CCM for Memory Care with PointClickCare and August Health

Many memory care communities use PointClickCare as their facility EHR while the ordering physician or medical director uses August Health for their practice. This dual-EHR reality creates challenges for CCM programs — clinical data lives in two systems that don't natively talk to each other. CCN Health solves this by integrating with both systems simultaneously.

The Dual-EHR Challenge in Memory Care

In memory care settings, it's common for:

• The facility to use PointClickCare for resident records, charting, and daily care documentation
• The physician to use August Health for orders, billing, and clinical decision-making
• CCM data to be needed in both systems for complete clinical documentation

Without an integration bridge, care staff must manually enter data in both systems, leading to documentation gaps, billing delays, and clinical risk.

How CCN Health Bridges PointClickCare and August Health

CCN Health's platform sits between both EHR systems, serving as a central hub for all CCM data:

1. Device data flows to CCN Health — Vital signs from monitoring devices are captured by the CCN Health platform
2. PointClickCare receives resident records — Vital signs, alerts, and care documentation sync to PCC resident charts
3. August Health receives clinical summaries — The ordering physician gets CCM reports, clinical observations, and billing-ready documentation in their August Health workflow
4. Billing documentation routes correctly — Claims data goes to the billing entity (physician practice via August Health) with supporting clinical documentation

Why This Matters for Memory Care

Contactless Monitoring

Xandar Kardian radar sensors capture vitals without any wearables — ideal for residents who remove devices.

Wander Detection Support

Presence sensing and alert capabilities complement existing wander management systems.

Clinical Trending

Longitudinal data helps clinical teams correlate behavioral changes with physiological indicators.

Billing Considerations for Dual-EHR CCM

In dual-EHR environments, billing typically flows through the physician practice (August Health):

CPT Code	Reimbursement	Billing Entity	Documentation Source
99490	~$62/mo	Physician (August Health)	CCN Health → August Health
99491	~$83/mo	Physician (August Health)	CCN Health → August Health

CCN Health ensures all required documentation is routed to the correct system for compliant billing regardless of which entity submits the claim.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do both EHR systems get the same CCM data?

Both systems receive CCM data, but the content is tailored to each system's role. PointClickCare gets resident care documentation, while August Health receives clinical summaries and billing records.

Who submits the Medicare claims?

Typically the physician practice bills through August Health, with CCN Health providing all required documentation. The specific billing arrangement depends on your organization's structure.

Is there extra setup for dual-EHR integration?

CCN Health configures both integrations during the standard implementation period. The dual-EHR setup is part of our standard offering — no additional cost or extended timeline.
