MedNOW's Chronic Care Management (CCM)
MedNOW Now Offers an In-House CCM Team
At MedNOW, our mission is to provide comprehensive care that supports your health and well-being. That’s why we’re excited to share information about our Chronic Care Management (CCM) Team, designed specifically to assist Medicare patients living with chronic conditions.
What is CCM?
CCM is a Medicare program designed to improve chronic care management by assisting with the coordination of services, improving the management of chronic health concerns, reducing hospital visits, and improving patients’ quality of life.
How MedNOW’s CCM Works
To ensure the highest quality of care, MedNOW has brought CCM in-house and established a dedicated Value-Based Care Team, including two CCM coordinators. Here’s what our team will do for you:
• Conduct monthly check-ins to monitor your health.
• Coordinate follow-up visits, prescription refills, medical equipment needs, and specialist appointments.
• Provide immediate updates to your provider after each CCM visit to ensure seamless care.
• Offer health education, referrals, and support to help manage your chronic conditions.
Examples of Chronic Conditions Eligible for CCM
The program is available to Medicare patients with conditions such as:
• Diabetes
• Hypertension
• Arthritis
• Cardiovascular disease
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
• Depression
• Cancer
• Alzheimer’s disease and more
Why Choose CCM?
This program is voluntary, affordable, and designed to enhance the care you receive. Our CCM services are tailored to your unique needs, empowering you to take control of your health and live a healthier lifestyle. Any associated fees are minimal compared to the significant benefits, including better management of your health and a reduced risk of hospital visits.

Hey Y’all After 39 years of practicing medicine and serving my patients with dedication and compassion, I am writing to formally announce my retirement, effective October 20, 2025. This decision did not come easily. Practicing medicine has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I have been privileged to work alongside some of the most talented, kind, and committed professionals in the field, and I will be grateful for the relationships I have built with colleagues, patients, and the medical community. Thanks for your stories. Romancing them has kept me up at night. You have brought adventure, entertainment, enrichment, a wide variety of educational experiences, and fulfillment to my being. I have watched your kids grow up, and now your grandkids...and your dogs, birds, and pigs. I have had 10 extra exciting scribe-powered years. Thanks, Ian, Jimmy, Moriah, Georgia, and Uyen, for expanding my knowledge exponentially. Now let’s go out and make this a kinder, more tolerant, less blamey, more generous and understanding world. Together, we can do it. We must. I remain committed to ensuring a smooth and seamless transition. I am happy to assist in any way needed during this process and am confident in the care you will receive with Dr Mahkameh Tracy, Melissa Wescott, NP, and Pushpa Rauniyar, NP. Thank you for your unwavering support, friendship, and shared commitment to healing. Warm regards, Dr. Jennifer Arnold, MD

We appreciate your understanding during this transition and remain committed to providing the high-quality care you’ve come to expect at MedNOW.
