Patient Handout: Chronic Care Management

A 2-page CCM explainer for patients that also covers the consent talking points: availability, cost-sharing, one provider per month, the right to stop.

Why I made thisPatients say yes to CCM more easily when they can read what it is at home. This supports the consent conversation; it doesn't replace it.
