Learn About Principal Care Management & CPT Codes

Principal Care Management CMS is a method that indexes or assigns interventions to patients with a regular condition in the continuum of treatment and care.

It contains health checks, regular screenings, utilization assessments, event monitoring, short-term care coordination, and long-term chronic health condition management.

The eligibility condition for Principal Care Management (PCM) services can last between three months and one year or until the patient’s demise. PCM service is often initiated in response to a patient’s chronic disease progression or recent hospitalization.

New CPT codes have been added in 2022 to describe “Principal Care Management Services.” These codes are like chronic care management services in that the work involves the establishment, implementation, revision, and monitoring of a care plan for a patient.

HealthArc’s comprehensive approach to Principal Care Management enables providers to deliver care management services for their patients suffering from specific chronic illnesses by enhancing the quality metrics of their healthcare while developing healthy revenue.
