A Helping Hand Between Office Visits

At Barranco ENT, we understand that juggling various aspects of your healthcare—from routine checkups to specialist consultations and medication adjustments—can feel overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be.

Our Chronic Care Management (CCM) program is designed specifically for Medicare patients dealing with multiple chronic conditions, such as arthritis, diabetes, depression, or high blood pressure, to help simplify and streamline your care.

Care Coordination

Barranco ENT offers a comprehensive service to help you manage your healthcare more effectively. Our CareHarmony care coordination program is designed with your well-being in mind, providing personalized support between your regular appointments. Through monthly phone check-ins, you'll receive guidance from a dedicated Care Coordinator committed to helping you achieve better health.

Chronic Care Management goes beyond your physician’s office, ensuring you receive continuous care and support. Each month, your Care Coordinator will reach out to:

  • Explain how and when to take your medications
  • Assist with scheduling appointments, lab tests, or other medical tests
  • Coordinate home health or medical equipment needs
  • Connect you with health education resources, services, and programs
  • Identify available community resources
  • Coordinate follow-up care after a hospital visit
  • Access other support services to help you stay healthy

In addition, we offer a 24/7 Care Coordinator Phone Line to address any questions or concerns you have outside of your regular check-ins, providing peace of mind day or night.

CCM FAQ

What is Chronic Care Management?

Chronic Care Management (CCM) is a Medicare-designed program aimed at helping patients with multiple chronic conditions by providing coordinated care. This service offers ongoing support and ensures patients receive necessary care and guidance between their regular office visits, even when they are at home.

What is a chronic condition?

A chronic condition is a health issue that persists over time and requires continuous treatment and management. Without proper care, chronic conditions can significantly affect your quality of life. Common examples include asthma, hypertension, diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease.

What is care coordination?

Care coordination involves organizing and managing all aspects of a patient's care, ensuring that critical health information is shared with all members of the care team. It helps improve the safety and effectiveness of care, particularly for patients with multiple chronic conditions, and adds an extra layer of support between visits to the doctor.

Who is eligible?

To qualify for the Chronic Care Management program, you must be a Medicare patient with two or more chronic conditions that are expected to last at least 12 months or until the end of life. If you are unsure about your eligibility, contact your healthcare provider for assistance.

Do I have to be a Medicare member?

Yes, this program is currently available exclusively to Medicare beneficiaries.

Why does my doctor want this for me?

If you have multiple chronic conditions, managing care can become complicated. You might have various specialists and medications, making it important to coordinate your care effectively. When your care is managed properly, all your doctors have the necessary information, and medication interactions are carefully monitored to ensure your safety.

But what if I feel fine?

Even if you're feeling well, Chronic Care Management helps ensure you stay healthy. The program focuses on preventive care and provides resources to help you maintain your health, as well as assistance in finding specialists or accessing community services to meet your ongoing healthcare needs.

What does this program cost?

For most Medicare patients, secondary insurance covers the cost of Chronic Care Management copays. If it doesn’t, you may be responsible for a small copayment (typically 20%) and your annual deductible. We recommend reviewing your insurance policy to understand the specifics of your coverage.

Is my information private and secure?

Absolutely. Your personal and medical information is protected under the same strict regulations that apply within your doctor's office. We use certified, secure technology that complies with all HIPAA regulations to keep your data safe and private.

Why should I enroll?

Enrolling in Chronic Care Management extends your healthcare beyond your doctor’s office. You’ll be assigned a dedicated care coordinator who will help create a personalized care plan, manage your appointments, assist with prescriptions, and offer 24/7 support. Your care coordinator acts as an extension of your physician’s office, making sure all your health needs are addressed.

How do I enroll?
