FOR MEDICARE PATIENTS
The Medicare APCM program is billed monthly. Services are billed separately and are not billed in association with a visit. The Medicare deductible and cost share/co-insurance applies to these services. Like other Medicare Part B services, APCM is subject to your deductible and a 20% coinsurance. Patients with secondary insurance may have little or no out-of-pocket expense. Please contact your secondary insurance carrier to verify your coverage.
Only one provider may bill Medicare for APCM services during a calendar month. In addition, you have the ability to stop services at any time, effective at the end of the calendar month. If you choose to stop receiving services from Bayview’s APCM longitudinal care program, you may continue to see your Bayview specialists and utilize our episodic primary care services through our Urgent Care, Walk-in clinics, and be seen by our Hospital Medicine team for inpatient services.
