Chronic Care Management in Louisiana

What is chronic care management?

Chronic care management (CCM) is a care management service providing coverage for those with at least two chronic conditions that require an ongoing relationship with their medical care team. This program includes:

  • Creation of a comprehensive care plan
  • Coordination of care among providers
  • Medication therapy management
  • Interactive remote communication and management (usually over the phone)

Chronic care management at GastroGroup & Endocenter is ideal for patients who require ongoing health and wellness support. It also promotes increased access to the appropriate medical resources, enhanced communication with care team members, reduction in ER visits and hospitalization or readmissions, and increased participation in their healthcare.
