PatchRx

Great preventative healthcare doesn't end when a patient leaves the doctor’s office. Our new partnership with ChartSpan Medical Technologies – the largest full-service Chronic Care Management (CCM) organization in the U.S. – brings PatchRx’s clinically backed medication adherence monitoring platform to thousands of new patients across the country. We’re thrilled to team up with ChartSpan to empower healthcare providers with the technology they need to deliver the highest quality of care.

🗒 TLDR: we're big supporters of the new APCM structure from the '25 Physician Fee Schedule draft, here's our take on it. 👉 A few weeks ago, the CY 2025 PFS draft was released with some relatively notable changes in our virtual care and remote care markets. Lotta folks have hit the big themes already, but we’re extremely bullish on the new addition of Advanced Primary Care Management (APCM). At a macro level, our current initiatives at PatchRx are designed to: 1) increase efficiency in clinical work by integrating more and getting rid of so many disjointed point solutions and 2) push to develop workflows (and incentives) that assist patients not based on the time clinicians allocate but by the quality of care or the quality of data used to evaluate patients. If you’re constantly trying to meet time-based requirements, it doesn’t necessarily always serve the patient. Aside from the reimbursement for these codes, which I believe seriously underestimates the resources required to adopt many elements of the service, frankly, we see APCM as the best-designed care management model to date. Here’s what we like: ⭐ APCM maintains the effective components of CCM, like the centralized digital care plan, which dramatically improves data capture and quality for patients. ⭐ It moves away from time-based coding, which is massive – empowering care teams to build better workflows, draw insights, and recommend data-backed interventions with actual efficiency. ⭐ It centralizes an element of care management that’s been long underutilized in traditional FFS programs: population health and risk stratification, generally. Too often, great healthcare payment mechanisms like APCM are rendered untenable because advocates can’t supply a robust, data-driven justification for reimbursement during the comment period. We expect/hope that to be different here. 📣 If you are contemplating APCM and want to make the case to CMS in this comment period, we’d love to partner with you on the best way to do that.

Calling everyone to help change pain in America! Today is the DAY to take action on the “advancing research for chronic pain act”: https://lnkd.in/ewDGrENv Follow the link and please repost! It only takes seconds (or 1-2 minutes for a personalized note) to message your senator on this important bill that will allow for better data on the burden of chronic pain and research and treatment access for all. And even if it seems like messages couldn’t change congress’s actions, they do! The last time I messaged my state representative on insurance coverage of essential anesthesia services, I received a very personalized reply back. And our outreach worked! I happened to meet with her a few weeks later to discuss a different bill on overdose prevention centers in my state, she recalled my prior outreach, and we had an amazing conversation with her staff in support of OPCs. Your outreach can make change happen. #WhyPainCounts #chronicpain #painadvocacy American Academy of Pain Medicine, American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, American Society of Anesthesiologists®, Shravani Durbhakula, MD, MPH, MBA, Salman Hirani, MD, Trent Emerick, MD, MBA , Sudheer Potru, DO, FASA, FASAM, Lynn Kohan , Sayed Wahezi, Bryan Marascalchi , Amitabh Gulati, David Copenhaver, Theresa Mallick-Searle, Jeremy A.
