WHAT PHYSICIANS/CLINICIANS SHOULD KNOW:
KNOWLEDGE SERIES COMPLEX CHRONIC CARE MANAGEMENT
Complex Chronic Care Management
CMS recognizes that some patients are more complex and will require more than 20 minutes provided by regular chronic care management. For these patients, complex chronic care management will be the better program. This requires more time from the provider and staff (60 mins/month), provider oversight of the care plan as well as moderate to severe complexity of medical decision-making.
We recognize that the complexity of medical decision-making may not be something everyone is familiar with. This document was designed to clarify this.

1 2 3
To determine qualification for complex CCM you must reach moderate complexity in two out of three of these areas:
• One or more chronic illnesses withmild exacerbation, progression orside effects of treatment
• Two or more stable chronicillnesses
• Undiagnosed new problem withuncertain prognosis (e.g., lump inbreast)
• Acute illness with systemicsymptoms (e.g., pyelonephritis,pneumonitis, colitis)
• Acute complicated injury (e.g.,head injury with brief loss ofconsciousness)
• Physiologic tests under stress (e.g.,cardiac stress test, fetalcontraction stress test)
• Diagnostic endoscopies with noidentified risk factors
• Deep needle or incisional biopsy• Cardiovascular imaging studies
with contrast and no identified riskfactors (e.g., arteriogram, cardiaccatheterization)
• Obtain fluid from body cavity (e.g.,lumbar puncture, thoracentesis,culdocentesis)
• Minor surgery with identified riskfactors
• Elective major surgery (open,percutaneous or endoscopic) withno identified risk factors
• Prescription drug management• Therapeutic nuclear medicine• IV fluids with additives• Closed treatment of fracture or
dislocation without manipulation
