5.22.2018 CM 01 What’s the difference between CM 01 and CM 03 as both look at identifying high risk patients?

CM 01 focuses on the practice’s established criteria and systematic process for identifying patients in need of care management. Comprehensive risk stratification in CM 03 requires a more complex identification process than that of CM 01. CM 03 goes beyond simply establishing criteria and provides elective credit to practices that are using a risk assessment process to identify patients for care management, leveraging clinical data about the patients; it is about stratifying patients using all the factors that put the patient at higher risk and in need of assistance in managing their health. If a practice meets CM 03, it will automatically meet CM 01.
