Medicare Cost for CCM Program Services
Rubicon will submit a bill to Medicare for chronic care management services in any month where we have provided at least 20 minutes of remote care for you.
While Medicare does offer coverage for these services, individuals covered by Medicare are still responsible for the coinsurance portion when these services are rendered. If you possess a Medicare supplement plan, it might help alleviate the cost of this coinsurance payment. We encourage you to contact your Medicare supplement provider directly to understand the extent of your insurance coverage for this particular service.
Patients have the option to stop their services at any time, for any reason. If you choose to do so, please inform a Rubicon staff member to officially dis-enroll from the program.
