Chronic Care Management Q&A

What is chronic care management?

Chronic care management includes health care services to diagnose and treat chronic diseases and disorders that affect your long-term health.

Clinica Medica Hispana offers comprehensive chronic care management services for adults and children aged five and over. The medical team provides advanced diagnostic testing services in the office and customizes a care plan to manage your condition and prevent additional complications.

Why would I need chronic care management?

You can benefit from the chronic care management services available at Clinica Medica Hispana if you have a chronic health condition like:

  • Arthritis
  • Asthma
  • Allergies 
  • Diabetes
  • Heart disease
  • High cholesterol
  • High blood pressure (hypertension)

 

The experienced medical team also offers ongoing mental health management for conditions like depression and anxiety.

Care is available for those who already have a chronic disease diagnosis. The team also offers diagnostic testing services and in-office labs to confirm a chronic disease for the first time.

What can I expect during my initial chronic care management visit?

During your initial chronic care management appointment at Clinica Medica Hispana, the medical team reviews your personal and family medical histories. They also complete a physical exam and may order blood tests, lung function tests, electrocardiogram (EKG), or other diagnostic tests to assess your health.

Based on your test results, the team creates a treatment plan to address any existing symptoms you have and prevent your condition from worsening.

Treating many chronic diseases requires a combination of medications, lifestyle changes, and diet improvements. The team works closely with you to ensure your condition is well-controlled so you can stay independent and physically active.

You can expect to schedule routine visits to the office so the team can monitor your progress with treatment. They also offer appointments to address any new symptoms or complications of a chronic disease. If you need additional medical care, the team can refer you to a specialist and coordinate with them to support your ongoing health needs.
