Chronic care management support for physician practices in Greenville, SC
Many primary care practices in the Upstate care for patients who would benefit from chronic care management, but no one on staff has the time to run it month after month. Anu Health and Wellness provides a contracted registered nurse to do that work inside your practice's workflows.
What the program asks of a practice
Chronic care management is steady, recurring work
Medicare's chronic care management services are built around ongoing contact with patients between visits. In general, the program involves:
- Patients with two or more chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months
- Documented patient consent before services begin
- A comprehensive care plan that is created, shared and kept up to date
- Clinical staff time spent with each enrolled patient every month
- Access to the care team for urgent needs, including after hours
This is a general summary, not billing guidance. Program requirements are set by CMS and change over time; your practice confirms current requirements and eligibility for each patient.
What your practice keeps
- The patient relationship
- Clinical decision-making
- Patient eligibility determinations
- Applicable Medicare billing
Anu Health and Wellness does not bill Medicare and does not guarantee reimbursement.
Where Anu fits
The RN time the program depends on
The limiting factor for most practices is not the patients or the program. It is the hours. Monthly check-ins, care plan follow-up and documentation add up quickly, and they tend to land on nurses and medical assistants who already have a full day.
Anu provides a registered nurse to carry that recurring work under your practice's direction. The nurse follows your policies and documentation standards and brings anything that needs a clinical decision back to your clinicians.
RN support can include
- Monthly patient check-ins by phone
- Care plan follow-up and updates for clinician review
- Medication and symptom questions routed to your team
- Documentation to your practice's workflows
- Coordination with specialists, pharmacies and community resources
