Chronic Care Management in Oklahoma

What is chronic care management?

Chronic care management (CCM) is a detailed care management service that offers coverage for patients who have at least two chronic conditions, facilitating an ongoing partnership with their individual medical care team. This entails developing a comprehensive care plan, coordination of care between providers, medication management, and interactive remote communication and management (generally over the phone).

Chronic care management is often helpful if you are looking for ongoing health and wellness support. It also promotes greater access to the relevant healthcare resources, improved communication with your care team, reduction in ER visits and hospital stays or readmissions, and increased participation in your individual healthcare. To find out more about chronic care management in Tulsa, OK, connect with your nearest Adult Gastroenterology Associates location today.
