Our Practice Management Working Group is implementing the Complex Care Management Project (CCMP), which aims to help physicians enhance complex care registries in their electronic medical records (EMRs), recall patients to complete complex care plans, and bill complex care management fees (fee codes 14033 and 14075). Over 40 physicians have completed the CCMP, and the table below shows some of the results.
