Sea Girt, NJ, January 05, 2016 --(PR.com)-- One year after CMS announced it would reimburse for select chronic care management (CCM) services for Medicare beneficiaries, many U.S. healthcare providers say they are ill-prepared to care for patients with complex medical needs, according to a 2015 Commonwealth Fund survey.

"Almost half of healthcare organizations lacked a formal chronic care management program in 2015, according to our market survey on this topic last year, leaving critical reimbursement dollars on the table. The experience of Bon Secours, an industry ground-breaker in embedded care management, health data analytics and population health management, will help providers leverage the potential of these new Medicare billing opportunities."
