Recommendations Related to Care Coordination
A joint workgroup of the AMA/Specialty Society RVS Update Committee (RUC) and the CPT Editorial Panel, the Chronic Care Coordination (C3W) Workgroup, is providing strategic direction to CPT and RUC to address the adequacy of coding and valuation of care coordination services and management of chronic diseases. A request to CMS to immediately implement payment for anticoagulant management, telephone calls, team conferences, and patient education was submitted to CMS on October 3, 2011.
