Objectives
2015 Diagnotes, Inc. – Confidential & Proprietary4
• 130+ million Americans have chronic diseases
• 7 of the top 10 causes of death in US in 2010 were chronic illnesses
• 85% of healthcare spending goes to the treatment of chronic illnesses
• 2/3 of Medicare dollars are spent on patients with 5+ chronic conditions
The Problem
2015 Diagnotes, Inc. – Confidential & Proprietary5
• 76+ % of Medicare beneficiaries have 2 or more chronic diseases, resulting in: 80+ % of hospital admissions 90+ % of prescriptions filled 75+ % of physician visits
• Providers historically have not been reimbursed for non-face-to-face care coordination services
• What is the outcome for this environment?
The Research
2015 Diagnotes, Inc. – Confidential & Proprietary6
• Chronic disease patients are often left to themselves to coordinate care between visits
• Gaps in communication cause:– Fragmented health data
– Duplicated tests
– Increased healthcare expenses
– Increased likelihood of poor health outcomes
Effective Chronic Care Management:
Reduces the costs of care for chronic disease patientsImproves their overall healthIncreases quality of life
The Research - continued

The Opportunity
• Importance of Chronic Care Management (CCM)• Impact that it has on healthcare expenses • Improved patient outcomes
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) recognizes:
• Medicare beneficiaries with 2+ chronic conditions• 20+ minutes of non-face-to-face chronic care coordination• Services can be fulfilled by the provider or performed by
subcontractor• Pays approximately $42 per patient per month to providers
New Chronic Care Management CPT Code 99490
Medicare has not recognized CCM as a rural health clinic (RHC) or federally qualified health center (FQHC) service
2015 Diagnotes, Inc. – Confidential & Proprietary8
• Only 1 provider can receive CCM reimbursement for a patient
• Average Family Practitioner or Internal Medicine Practitioner has 2000 patients and roughly 500 qualify for CCM
• A large percentage of qualified patients have supplemental insurance – resulting in no cost to patient
• 450 patients per provider at $42 per month
The Opportunity – continued
