A small percentage of the population makes up a large portion of our nation's healthcare expenses. What primary care and chronic care management efforts can be effective in improving these statistics?

This episode is the third part in our three-part introductory series, titled "Chronic Care Management" and examines the legal and practical frameworks that shape the delivery of primary care and chronic care management services to individuals in both urban, suburban, and rural areas. The discussion covers the challenging reimbursement environment and escalating operating costs for preventative care and coordination of chronic illness, as well as the ongoing efforts to alleviate hospital overcrowding, as described in the first episode.
