Advanced Primary Care Management (APCM) is CMS’s new and innovative program and payment model. APCM builds on the foundation of previous preventive care initiatives, borrowing key elements from chronic care management (CCM) while removing time-based requirements. APCM provides physician practices and federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) with a streamlined and impactful way to deliver high-quality services while also unlocking an additional recurring revenue stream.

Prevounce encourages providers to submit accurate and appropriate claims for services. It is always the provider’s responsibility to determine medical necessity, the proper site for delivery of any services, and to submit appropriate codes, charges, and modifiers for services rendered. It is also always the provider’s responsibility to understand and comply with Medicare national coverage determinations (NCD), Medicare local coverage determinations (LCD), and any other coverage requirements established by relevant payers which can be updated frequently.
Prevounce recommends that you consult with your payers, reimbursement specialists, and/or legal counsel regarding coding, coverage, and reimbursement matters.
Payer policies will vary and should be verified prior to treatment for limitations on diagnosis, coding, or site of service requirements.
The coding options listed here are commonly used codes and are not intended to be an all-inclusive list. We recommend consulting your relevant manuals for appropriate coding options.
The Health Care Provider (HCP) is solely responsible for selecting the site of service and treatment modalities appropriate for the patient based on medically appropriate needs of that patient and the independent medical judgement of the HCP.
