Chronic Care Management
What is it?
Chronic Care Management (CCM) is practice of analyzing your chronic conditions and developing plans that are geared to improve your overall condition. The breadth of these plans may include traditional to non-traditional forms of care, and depend on the plan developed between you and the provider.
The problem for many patients is that they feel shuffled between specialist, not communicated with, and left to figure out complex medical conditions on their own. Athena Medical Group CCM allows you and your provider to pull this fractured care model into a manageable plan. A plan that you help develop.
