Medicare Chronic Care Management (CCM) in Rockville, MD
Comprehensive, coordinated care management for Medicare beneficiaries living with two or more chronic health conditions. Conveniently located on Rockville Pike, DocDx Medical Clinic provides dedicated care plans, monthly provider check-ins, medication coordination, and 24/7 access to your primary care team.
What is Medicare Chronic Care Management (CCM)?
Living with multiple recurring health conditions—such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, or arthritis—can feel overwhelming. Managing different prescription medications, keeping track of lab testing schedules, and coordinating visits among multiple medical specialists requires continuous attention and clear clinical guidance.
Medicare Chronic Care Management (CCM) is a dedicated primary care benefit designed to give you continuous support between routine doctor visits. Rather than waiting for an acute health problem or an emergency room visit, CCM provides proactive, month-to-month care coordination anchored by your trusted primary care provider at DocDx Medical Clinic in Rockville, MD. In alignment with guidelines from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), our CCM program ensures you have a personal healthcare navigator dedicated to keeping your health stable and improving your quality of life.
Who Qualifies for Chronic Care Management?
Medicare beneficiaries qualify for Chronic Care Management services if they meet the following core criteria:
- Enrolled in Medicare Part B (Original Medicare or Medicare Advantage plans).
- Diagnosed with two or more chronic conditions expected to last at least 12 months, or until the end of life.
- Placed at significant clinical risk of functional decline, acute exacerbation, decompensation, or hospitalization due to those conditions.
During your primary care visit at our Rockville office, your DocDx provider will review your medical history, confirm your eligibility, and explain how CCM services fit into your personalized care plan.
