To enroll in the Chronic Care Management program call 757-505-1853.

Chronic Care Management (CCM) is a Medicare sponsored program that allows us to more closely monitor your health and well being between office visits through monthly phone calls. Participants must be on Medicare and have two or more chronic conditions. Ask staff if you’re eligible to join.

Examples of chronic conditions include, but aren’t limited to:

• Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia
• Arthritis (osteoarthritis and rheumatoid)
• Asthma
• Atrial fibrillation
• Autism spectrum disorders
• Cancer
• Cardiovascular disease
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
• Depression
• Diabetes
• Hypertension
• Infectious diseases like HIV and AIDS

What happens after I enroll in the program?

If you consent, or verbally agree, to enroll in the program then you will be contacted monthly by phone by one of our Care Coordinators. Our team consists of RNs, LPNs and Medical Assistants trained to discuss your chronic conditions and treatment as directed by your provider.
