How Chronic Care Management Can Benefit Providers and Patients
A session led by Irina Koyfman, DNP, NP-C, RN, at the National Association of Managed Care Physicians (NAMCP) Spring Managed Care Forum 2023 detailed the potential of CCM billing for physicians who are not currently doing it and recommendations for optimizing the process. Koyfman, who is the CEO of Affinity Care Expert, has been advising providers on use of CCM for years.
