Chronic Care Management Q & A

What is chronic care management?

Chronic care management (CCM) includes a comprehensive care plan that lists health problems and goals, medications, other providers, community services you need, and additional information about your health. CCM also explains the care you need and how the team will coordinate your care.

If you agree to this service, your Galenus Group provider can prepare your care plan for you or your caregiver, help you with medication management, and provide 24/7 access for urgent care needs. They also offer support when you go from one health care setting to another, review your medicines and how you take them, and help you with other chronic care needs.

What are some conditions included in chronic care management?

Chronic conditions and diseases are some of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. The most common chronic conditions include:

  • Stroke
  • Cancer
  • Obesity
  • Heart disease
  • Kidney disease
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Respiratory disease
  • High blood pressure

To maintain your overall health and wellness, managing your chronic condition and avoiding other potential health risks is essential.
