Principal Care Management (PCM)

Provide focused, high‑value care for patients with a single serious chronic condition

Focused Care for High‑Impact Conditions

Principal Care Management (PCM) programs support patients with one serious chronic condition—such as congestive heart failure, COPD or cancer—requiring intensive management. Providers benefit from more targeted care, while patients receive highly personalized support. PCM can enhance patient engagement, improve care coordination and help meet quality metrics.
