Michelle Horswood explores what a chronic disease is and how you can utilise a GP Management Plan and a Team Care Arrangement to support your patients.
CORRECTION TO PRESENTATION
Please note the Diabetes Annual Cycle of Care discussed in this presentation no longer attracts a specific item number.
It is important to still complete the cycle of care.
The billing alternative would be within the context of a Health Assessment, Nurse Item 10997 or a consult.
If using a consult item number, this can not be billed with the CDM items.
Learning outcomes:
1. To understand what defines a Chronic Disease (for the purpose of care planning)
2. To understand the Medicare requirements of a GPMP and TCA
3. To be aware processes involved in developing these plans
4. To know what billing items can be claimed and time periods for these
