CCM Navigator Offers Former CareSync Customers Reliable, Sustainable Clinical Managed ServicesCCM Navigator, a proven practice-centric clinical managed care services provider, noted today that its services are immediately available to providers and their patients impacted by the recent and sudden closing of CareSync. "Thousands of physicians and patients were caught by surprise when CareSync abruptly closed its doors recently," said Andrew Mills, CEO of CCM (News - Alert) Navigator. "It had a business model and financial structure that were overly dependent on technology and, like others that have attempted this approach, obviously untenable. "Instead, CCM Navigator has always focused on delivering personalized, best-practice services as directed by the physician...the quarterback of patient care," Mills continued. "The advancements in our care model enable patients to adopt and adhere to the personalized care plan created by their physician. Our proprietary technology for clinical guidelines and patient self-management scoring, among others, forms a unique set of tools for physicians. The value for patients is evident by the patient participation and retention rates in the CCM program that are by far the highest in the industry. Our model has proven to be a sustainable and a profitable solutionfor Chronic Care Management." The challenges and opportunities of Chronic Care Management CCM was launched by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in 2015 to help provide support for patients with multiple chronic conditions between provider visits and episodes of care. A full two-thirds of all Medicare beneficiaries have two or more chronic conditions - conditions that require regular routine follow-up to prevent small health issues from becoming expensive, full-blown health crises. Beneficiaries with these multiple conditions are more likely to be hospitalized, have more hospital admissions and higher morbidity rates. Beneficiaries with multiple chronic conditions account for 93% of all Medicare spending, a statistic not expected to decrease as the aging population continues to increase. Even though Medicare now covers such services as annual wellness visits (AWVs), the reimbursement is insufficient to cover the significant staffing and technology investments a practice typically needs to provide the services on a broad scale. Too often, patients end up without proactive follow-up between episodes of care, leading to higher complication rates, lower quality of life and more-costly care.
