Chronic Care Focus

CMS recognizes care management as one of the critical components of primary care that contributes to better health and care for individuals, as well as

reduced spending. BeginningJanuary 1, 2015 Medicare pays separately under the

Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) under American Medical Association Current Procedural Terminology

(CPT) code 99490, for non-face-to-face carecoordination services furnished to Medicare

beneficiaries with multiple chronic conditions.

Pressure on PriceOver the period from 2005 to 2014, premiums for employment-based insurance grew by 48 percent for single coverage and by 55 percent for family coverage. CBO and JCT expect them to grow at similar rates over the next decade—by about 5

percent per year, on average, or about 2 percentage points faster than income per capita. As a result of that growth, average premiums for employment-

based coverage are projected to be about $10,000 for single coverage and about $24,500 for family coverage in 2025, nearly 60 percent higher than

they were in 2016.CBO Feb 2016
