How does CCM know what screenings and tests I am missing?

We receive secure and confidential medical claims data to tell us what screenings
and lab tests you may be missing. Messages may be sent to you if we notice that
you are missing claims for certain cancer screenings or laboratory tests known to
be standards of care for your age, gender or for certain chronic conditions you
may have.

Who does CCM share my health information with?

We may report to the company that pays your claims or to your employer. To
guard your privacy, when we report to employer, we refer to your case by a
number which we create. This number is unique to you. CCM complies with
HIPAA regulations.

What if my doctor doesn’t agree with the screenings or tests you tell me about?

Decisions about your medical care are personal decisions between you and your doctor. Your doctor is the best judge of which screenings and tests are right for you. Our letters should not be considered as medical advice. Our reminders are based on nationally recognized standards of care.

I’d like to say my CCM nurse was very helpful in getting a STAT MRI approved for me, and this was the fastest approval I have ever gotten.

 

“This was a last minute situation for a patient. The intake coordinator handled it very, very well.  I couldn’t have been more pleased.  She made sure to get it done before the end of the year so they could get the supplies under their policy because they reached the deductible.”

 

This is a good program. It’s nice that the nurse calls to see how I am doing. She answered some good questions for me. I am now retired and I was a welder. Having my insurance and being able to speak with a nurse is a good benefit for retirees.

 

I have had the “sugar” for 10 years, my Dad had it and my son has it. I like having a nurse available to me so that I am able to call her if I have questions regarding my health. Her name and number is taped to my refrigerator. It’s a good benefit to have.

 

I handle all of the authorizations for a large practice and I will say that I work with many different authorization vendors, and there are none more professional than all of your associates who work at Corporate Care Management that I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with.

 

Everyone has always been extremely helpful and friendly. I speak with Insurance Company representatives all day long and CCM is absolutely one of the best to work with.

 

This program is valuable and the nurse was helpful. I can understand the importance of following up with my diabetes.

 

My CCM nurse has been awesome in the help and concerns for my son and his healthcare and issues we have had.  I can’t thank her enough for the prompt responses.

 

An [Intake Coordinator] assisted today in getting a surgery authorized for us for a patient who is scheduled for surgery next Tuesday.  She was very helpful and very professional.

 

I enjoy being able to speak with your Registered Nurse about my progress with Diabetes and my frustrations.
