Chronic Care Management with CCN Health's PointClickCare Integration

What Is Chronic Care Management with PointClickCare?

CCN Health's Chronic Care Management (CCM) integration with PointClickCare enables skilled nursing facilities, senior living communities, and post-acute care organizations to deliver coordinated chronic disease management with seamless EHR data flow, automated documentation, and compliant Medicare billing.

CCM targets residents with two or more chronic conditions — heart failure and diabetes, COPD and hypertension, CKD and dementia — providing structured monthly care coordination that includes care plan development, medication reconciliation, provider communication, and wellness check-ins. Unlike Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), which captures physiologic vital signs from connected devices, CCM focuses on comprehensive care coordination — medication management, care plan updates, specialist communication, and monthly clinical assessments with automated time tracking.

How It Works

1. Patient Identification — PointClickCare diagnosis data identifies residents with 2+ qualifying chronic conditions; ADT census sync flags new admissions with eligible diagnoses automatically
2. Consent & Enrollment — Informed consent documented in the resident record, resident added to CCM program with all qualifying conditions mapped
3. Care Plan Development — Comprehensive care plan addressing all chronic conditions, medications, goals, care team contacts, and emergency protocols
4. Monthly Coordination — Regular assessments, medication reconciliation, care plan updates, and provider communication with automated time tracking for every coordination activity
5. Billing Automation — CPT 99490/99491 documentation generated from tracked care coordination time, with all CMS requirements validated before claim submission

Who Uses CCM with PointClickCare?

CCM with PointClickCare serves clinical teams managing residents with multiple overlapping chronic conditions:

Heart Failure + Diabetes — Residents managing multiple cardiovascular and metabolic conditions benefit from coordinated medication management, dietary guidance, and regular vital sign review. Monthly care coordination ensures insulin regimens, diuretic dosing, and cardiology follow-ups remain aligned across providers.

COPD + Hypertension — Respiratory and cardiovascular conditions require coordinated monitoring of SpO2, blood pressure, and medication adherence across specialties. CCM provides the structured framework for pulmonology and cardiology care teams to share assessments and adjust treatment plans together.

CKD + Diabetes — Renal and metabolic conditions need careful medication management, fluid balance monitoring, and lab coordination. Monthly reconciliation prevents nephrotoxic drug interactions and ensures glucose management accounts for declining renal function.

Dementia + Chronic Pain — Cognitive decline complicates medication adherence and pain management, requiring structured care coordination. CCM check-ins provide regular cognitive screening, medication review, and caregiver communication that isolated office visits cannot.

CCM vs PCM

For PointClickCare facilities evaluating both programs, understanding the distinction drives compliant billing and maximizes revenue:

Dimension	CCM	PCM
Conditions	2+ chronic conditions	1 high-complexity condition
Focus	Comprehensive, multi-condition coordination	Single-condition specialist management
CPT Codes	99490, 99491	99424-99427
Est. Revenue	~$62/patient/month	~$70/patient/month
Time Requirement	20+ minutes/month (clinical staff)	30+ minutes/month (clinical staff)
Stackable	Yes — with RPM, PCM, BHI, RTM	Yes — with CCM for same patient

CCM and PCM can be billed concurrently when the PCM condition is distinct from the CCM conditions — a resident on CCM for diabetes and hypertension management and PCM for advanced heart failure, for example. For a detailed comparison, see our PCM vs CCM guide.

Qualifying Conditions

Condition Category	Examples	Key Metrics
Cardiovascular	Heart failure, hypertension, CAD	BP, weight, medication adherence
Metabolic	Diabetes, thyroid disorders	Glucose, weight, lab coordination
Respiratory	COPD, asthma	SpO2, respiratory rate, symptoms
Renal	CKD stages 3-5	Weight, BP, fluid balance
Neurological	Dementia, Parkinson's	Cognitive screens, fall risk, ADLs

Clinical Benefits

• Proactive management of multiple chronic conditions reduces emergency interventions
• Medication reconciliation prevents adverse drug interactions across conditions
• Regular assessments catch health changes before they escalate
• ADT census integration flags qualifying residents on admission
• Reduced hospital readmissions through structured monthly coordination
• Survey-ready documentation with timestamped coordination records
• Cross-program data sharing — CCM assessments inform RPM alert thresholds and BHI screening

Billing & Reimbursement

CCN Health automates Medicare CCM billing documentation:

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+

For facilities stacking CCM with RPM for qualifying residents, combined per-patient revenue can exceed $180/month. Add BHI for residents with behavioral health needs and monthly revenue can reach $230+.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does CCN Health integrate directly with PointClickCare for CCM?

Yes. CCN Health has a certified integration with PointClickCare that enables bi-directional data flow. Care coordination data and clinical documentation automatically appear in PointClickCare resident records.

What are the billing requirements for CCM?

CPT 99490 requires 20+ minutes of clinical staff time per month. CPT 99491 requires 30+ minutes of physician or qualified healthcare professional time. CCN Health tracks all requirements automatically and generates documentation for compliant billing.
