What we support

Managed PCM Operations

Principal Care Management fills an important gap, providing intensive care coordination for patients who have one high-risk condition that does not meet the two-condition threshold for CCM. Our program-aligned team manages the agreed operating workflow while clinical and billable responsibilities are assigned according to applicable program and payer requirements.

Why PCM Matters for High-Risk Patients

Support condition-specific goals

Focused monthly coordination gives licensed client personnel more consistent visibility into reported needs and pending follow-up.

Support PCM billing readiness

Documented qualifying PCM services may support reimbursement, subject to eligibility, coverage, documentation, coding, and payer requirements.

Add operational capacity

Our managed operating model can support agreed outreach, documentation, and coordination workflows while the client retains clinical responsibility.

Support utilization-management efforts

Routine outreach and escalation can support the client clinical team's efforts to address avoidable care events.

Support value-based care performance

PCM program data and outcomes contribute to quality metrics in value-based care arrangements.

Program responsibilities and readiness

How Principal Care Management Responsibilities and Launch Readiness Work

The operating model is confirmed during feasibility review and documented before launch.

Clinical scope and escalation

CF Care Connect nonclinical operational staff do not make independent clinical decisions. Licensed client personnel retain clinical oversight, approve protocols and care plans, make all clinical decisions, and receive escalations through agreed pathways.

Client retains responsibility for

  • Confirm the qualifying condition and clinical appropriateness
  • Approve the condition-focused care plan and escalation protocols
  • Provide secure clinical-system access
  • Retain medication, treatment, clinical, coding, and billing decisions

CF Care Connect supports

  • Operate approved enrollment and recurring coordination workflows
  • Support routine education, reminders, and referral tracking
  • Document activity and perform workflow QA
  • Escalate clinical questions and condition changes to licensed personnel

Implementation Prerequisites

  • Documented eligibility and condition-focused program criteria
  • Approved care-plan, outreach, and escalation workflows
  • System access and named specialist or clinical owners
  • Validated documentation and billing-readiness rules

Measurement Framework

  • Eligible-to-enrolled conversion
  • Recurring engagement and coordination status
  • Referral and follow-up completion status
  • Escalation routing and resolution status
  • Documentation and billing-readiness status

Targets, definitions, data sources, owners, and reporting cadence are agreed before launch. Outcomes are not guaranteed.
