Key Takeaways

Telehealth can be used to educate patients with chronic conditions, develop and share care plans, monitor symptoms, and manage medications—all in the pursuit of better care outcomes at lower costs.
Many patients lack frequent access to in-person care, and the number of Americans affected by chronic conditions grows each year. Failure to properly manage chronic conditions leads to worse health outcomes and costly care.
Reimbursement for remote chronic care management (CCM) varies between payers, but both private and public payers have expanded coverage for chronic care management in recent years.
