What the end of G0511 means for rural finance and operations—and how to rebuild care‑management revenue using the new care coordination codes.
An operations and compliance guide for separating Chronic Care Management and Remote Patient Monitoring time—without turning your EMR into a spreadsheet farm.
A practical guide for medical leadership and compliance teams on structuring outsourced care-management under Corporate Practice of Medicine laws.
Outsourcing Chronic Care Management (CCM) can expand capacity, improve patient engagement, and generate dependable Medicare revenue—provided physicians retain clinical oversight. Drawing on recent company disclosures and expert interviews, this guide outlines practical steps for physicians, practice managers, and small hospital leaders to delegate routine CCM tasks while protecting care quality, compliance, and the patient–provider bond.

Quick-scan checklist to launch or scale compliant CCM & RPM—built for independent primary care clinics, RHCs, and FQHCs.
Small and mid-sized providers are increasingly accountable for hundreds of high-risk patients, even as Medicare reimburses roughly USD 40–42 per patient per month for basic CCM, making fully in-house programs financially challenging. [1]
Effective CCM now relies on:
Burjeel Holdings, for example, facilitated 629k digital appointments in FY 2024 after investing in Oracle Cerner and mobile tools to support chronic populations. [2]
When practices or small hospitals choose to self-manage monitoring, nurses and MAs often face steep learning curves with new portals and device thresholds, creating resistance and hidden labor costs. [3]
Pitfall 1 — Vendors focused solely on the 20-minute threshold
Pitfall 2 — Double-counting CCM & RPM minutes
Pitfall 3 — Fragmented data in standalone vendor portals
Pitfall 4 — "Dark devices", connectivity failures, and disengaged patients
Decide whether you are outsourcing:
In both cases, retain final authority over medication changes and escalations—the clinician of record should remain the ultimate decision-maker. [13][14]

Platforms such as ThoroughCare, TimeDoc, and others only achieve their promised ROI when these integration steps are completed and maintained. [15]
Use public disclosures as bookends, not promises. For example, CareCloud reported USD 1.4M in CCM revenue during 1H 2025—data like this can help set realistic expectations and pricing guardrails as you model ROI and negotiate per-patient fees. [16]
You should have:
This is especially important for small hospitals and RHCs/FQHCs, where leadership must answer to boards, regulators, and community stakeholders.
These practices align with both expert calls and regulatory guidance:

This dashboard gives both practice leaders and small-hospital executives a grounded view of whether outsourcing is doing what it should—extending clinical reach without eroding standards.
Outsourcing CCM does not mean ceding control. Done well, it is a strategic redistribution of tasks that:
By choosing partners with robust integration, transparent economics, and auditable workflows—and by instituting clear clinical guardrails—practices and small hospitals can extend their reach, improve outcomes, and remain firmly at the helm of patient care. [1][2][3]
