Article Overview
This article explains the billing framework for principal care management (PCM) under current CPT guidance. It is aimed at coders, billers, and practices evaluating or managing a PCM program, and it focuses on the general categories of services that may conflict with PCM reporting, overlap in time, or be restricted in the same reporting period.
