Principal Care Management Program (PCM)

What is Principal Care Management Program (PCM)?

Principal Care Management (PCM) is a Medicare-approved program for individuals managing one serious or complex chronic condition, such as uncontrolled blood pressure, uncontrolled diabetes, asthma, and other.
Unlike programs that address multiple conditions, PCM focuses entirely on your most critical health challenge, delivering specialized patient centered care to prevent complications and simplify your care journey.

Example: If you are recovering from a stroke or managing late-stage kidney disease, PCM ensures your surgeons, therapists, and pharmacists collaborate seamlessly to close gaps in coordinated care and reduce the risk of hospital readmissions.

Delivering Targeted PCM Care

Specialized Care for Complex Needs

We create PCM plans for conditions requiring frequent, precise adjustments, such as chemotherapy schedules, post-transplant monitoring, or managing advanced diabetes. Your care coordination includes experts familiar with your diagnosis, ensuring treatments align with the latest medical guidelines and your needs.

Your Reliable Health Coordinator

You will work with a dedicated nurse or provider who acts as your single point of contact. They coordinate appointments, track symptoms daily, and answer urgent questions to eliminate the stress of juggling multiple providers or waiting days for updates.

Who Qualifies for Principal Care Management?

PCM is designed for Medicare and other verified insurance patients with one life-altering condition demanding intensive, integrated healthcare. Examples include:

Physical health

Stage 4 COPD, ALS, uncontrolled diabetes, or other chronic disease with complications.

Post-acute care

Recovery from joint replacement, bypass surgery, traumatic injuries, and more.

Mental health

Severe bipolar disorder, PTSD, or other psychological condition requiring coordinated therapy and medication management.

Key Point

If your condition requires weekly specialist visits or constant treatment adjustments, PCM provides the personalized healthcare solutions needed to avoid setbacks.

How RPM Works

Health Examination

We start by reviewing your medical history, current treatments, and daily challenges. This helps us build a comprehensive care plan for your needs, whether reducing pain, improving mobility, or stabilizing lab results.

Real-Time Coordination

Your care navigator shares updates instantly with your specialists and pharmacists. For example, if your blood pressure spikes, your cardiologist receives an alert the same day to adjust medications (no delays, no guesswork).

Crisis Avoidance

We monitor warning signs closely to avoid crises. Fluid retention in heart failure patients or sudden weight loss in cancer patients triggers immediate action, often preventing emergencies before they occur.

Why Our PCM Program Stands Out

Medicare Approved, Patient Trusted

Our PCM services follow strict CMS guidelines, ensuring innovative and proven care to stabilize the complex conditions of our medical visitors. Medicare’s active participation in chronic disease management guarantees your safety and the effectiveness of every intervention.

No One Left Behind

We break down barriers to care, whether by arranging home IV treatments for mobility-limited patients, offering telehealth visits in rural areas, or providing personalized care plans for non-English speakers. Our motive is to deliver health to everyone without hassle or hindrances.

Ready to Take Control of Your Health?

Patients interested in Principal Care Management (PCM) can contact us anytime to discuss eligibility. Our team affirms Medicare or other verified coverage, explains how PCM aligns with their health needs, and creates a comprehensive care plan (whether the focus is reducing medication errors, improving mobility, or preventing hospital stays).

AZZ Medical Associates delivers Chronic Care Management (CCM), a focused program with similar coordination and 24/7 support for those managing one or more chronic conditions, such as advanced cancer or post-stroke recovery.
