Each month, CMS allows you to bill for 20 minutes or more of CCM services rendered to patients enrolled in the CMS Chronic Care Management program (see Chronic Care Management).
Note: You can submit only one CCM bill or claim per patient per month.
The Billing tab displays the CCM billing dashboard, which provides an aggregate view of all patients enrolled in the CMS Chronic Care Management program, as well as the total number of minutes of care management activities completed each month. On the billing dashboard, you can attest to sending billing requests for multiple patients at the same time.
To document and review CCM services for a patient, the patient must be enrolled in the CMS Chronic Care Management program. For instructions, see "To enroll a patient in a care management program" on the Care Management Workflow page.
Care managers with the Population Management: Care Manager: Billing Dashboard permission can use the CCM billing dashboard to view the billing status of multiple patients at once (see "To view the CCM billing status of multiple patients"). On the billing dashboard, you can filter the list of patients by their CCM status.
- Not enough time spent — This status indicates that fewer than 20 minutes of CCM services have been rendered for the patient in the selected month.
- Ready to bill — This status indicates that at least 20 minutes of CCM services have been rendered for the patient in the selected month.
- Marked as billed — This status indicates that a care manager has already attested to sending the billing summary to the patient's provider for CCM services rendered to the patient in the selected month.
Care managers can use the CCM billing dashboard to view the billing status of multiple patients at once.
Note: To display the CCM billing dashboard, you must have the Population Management: Care Manager: Billing Dashboard and Population Management: Care Manager: Bulk Send Bill to Provider permissions.

- Status — Select a CCM status from the menu to display patients for that CCM status (see "CCM billing statuses").
- Care manager — Select a care manager from the list to display patients assigned to that care manager.
- Select the patients in the filtered list.
- Click Create Billing Request to generate a billing request for CCM services for athenaOne.
Care managers document care management services by adding and completing events in the event timeline of the patient's Person Center. All event types in the menu on the Add Event page are considered CCM services. However, only events that have been closed and marked as complete count toward the 20 minutes of CCM services.

You can edit CCM billing time in events if, for example, you initially forgot to add the billing time.
Events can be edited and tracked up until the time the event is marked complete. Completed events are locked to ensure that they aren't accidentally edited.
If the event is still in progress, all users can edit the billing time. If the event is complete, only users without the Requires Review permission can edit the Time Spent field. Users with the Requires Review permission are not able to edit the Time Spent field after an event is completed.
