ForwardMedicare Care Management in the FQHC: New Opportunities in 2024
Access the on-demand webinar series here.
In this two-part webinar series, we will examine the various types of care management services that FQHCs are eligible to provide under the Medicare program, with special emphasis on newer opportunities for FQHCs and care management services that have been introduced for Medicare beneficiaries in recent years. We will discuss how robust uptake of care management services can be an important part of an overall Medicare strategy for health centers.
The following webinars are included in this series:
Session 1: Medicare Care Management Primer
In this webinar, we will examine the unique role and benefits of Medicare care management services for FQHCs, as a complement to the visit-based care that FQHCs provide to Medicare beneficiaries. We will cover how care management services are paid for under Medicare, including billing rates, claims mechanics, and coinsurance. We will also address factors FQHCs should consider in setting charges in their fee schedule for care management. In this session, we will address the required program components for four types of monthly care management services: chronic care management, behavioral health integration, the psychiatric collaborative care model, and principal care management.
Session 2: New Developments in Medicare Care Management
During this session, we will focus on expansions in care management opportunities for FQHCs in recent years, including new programs that are being implemented effective January 1, 2024. We will cover first, the chronic pain management service, unveiled by Medicare in CY2023, addressing how health centers can use this service to promote alternatives to medication for patients suffering from chronic pain. Next we will address two new care management-oriented services, community health integration and principal illness navigation, which allow health centers to draw on community health workers as part of their clinical workforce serving Medicare beneficiaries. Finally, we will describe the program requirements for new remote monitoring services implemented in CY2024, remote physiological monitoring and remote therapeutic monitoring. For FQHCs, these services will be paid for in the same manner as monthly care management services.
