Dear Representative DelBene,
We the undersigned organizations offer our strong endorsement of the Seniors’ Chronic Care Management Improvement Act of 2021 to ensure that more chronically ill Medicare patients receive access to high-quality care. By removing the patient cost-sharing obligations from the Chronic Care Management (CCM) code, potentially millions of chronically ill Medicare beneficiaries will benefit from the care coordination and care management services the code supports.
