Operational answers to the questions practices actually ask about care management programs, written by the team that runs them.
02
Can you bill TCM and CCM together?
Usually not in the same calendar month, with one specific exception that most practices get wrong in both directions.
03
Should you run TCM in-house or outsource it?
The clinical work is not the hard part. Whether you can protect a two-business-day contact window is what should decide the model.
04
What does a TCM program cost to run?
The cost is coverage, not clinical time — and the largest hidden cost is work that gets done but cannot be billed.
05
Who can deliver comprehensive medication management?
A pharmacist. What they may change without a new order depends on state law and on whether a collaborative practice agreement exists.
