CCN Health provides a certified Chronic Care Management (CCM) integration with Ethizo optimized for cardiology practices, featuring bp monitoring technology. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
Chronic Care Management for Cardiology with Ethizo
CCN Health's CCM program integrates with Ethizo to provide cardiology-specific clinical protocols, device monitoring, and automated Medicare billing for cardiology patient populations.
Cardiology Conditions Managed
- Heart failure (HFrEF and HFpEF)
- Hypertension
- Atrial fibrillation
- Coronary artery disease
- Post-MI management
BP Monitoring for Cardiology
FDA-cleared automated cuffs from Smart Meter (iBloodPressure), Omron, Bodytrace, and Telli Health measure systolic/diastolic pressure and heart rate with a single button press. Readings transmit automatically via cellular gateway to the CCN Health platform.
This technology is particularly valuable for cardiology patients because it provides systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate data that directly informs clinical decision-making.
Clinical Protocols
- Daily blood pressure and weight monitoring
- Threshold alerts for BP > 180/110 or weight gain > 3 lbs/day
- Medication titration based on trending data
- Heart failure decompensation early warning protocols
Key Monitoring Metrics
| Metric | Clinical Significance |
|---|---|
| Blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
| Heart rate and rhythm | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
| Daily weight (fluid retention) | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
| SpO2 levels | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
| Heart rate variability | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
Recommended Devices for Cardiology
| Device | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Blood pressure monitor | Cardiology monitoring |
| Weight scale | Cardiology monitoring |
| Pulse oximeter | Cardiology monitoring |
| Xandar Kardian sensorless (HR, RR) | Cardiology monitoring |
Relevant ICD-10 Codes
- I50.x (Heart failure)
- I10 (Essential hypertension)
- I48.x (Atrial fibrillation)
- I25.x (Chronic ischemic heart disease)
Clinical Evidence
Studies show RPM reduces heart failure readmissions by 25-38% and improves blood pressure control rates by 15-20% compared to usual care.
Billing & Reimbursement
| CPT Code | Reimbursement | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 99490 | ~$62/mo | 20+ minutes of clinical staff time per month |
| 99491 | ~$83/mo | 30+ minutes of physician/QHP time per month |
Monthly potential per patient: $62+

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Cardiology — implementation, billing, and clinical workflows.
Yes. CCN Health integrates with the Ethizo practice management platform, enabling RPM and CCM data to flow into patient records for streamlined senior care workflows.
CCM is a Medicare program that reimburses providers for non-face-to-face care coordination for patients with two or more chronic conditions, billed under CPT codes 99490, 99439, and 99491.
Patients use an FDA-cleared connected blood pressure cuff that automatically transmits readings to CCN Health's platform, enabling clinicians to track trends and intervene early on hypertension or hypotension.
Most facilities are fully operational within 2–4 weeks. CCN Health handles device provisioning, EHR integration setup, staff training, and ongoing clinical support.
