Who receives the payer payment?
The eligible billing practitioner or organization receives any supported claim payment under its payer arrangement. A code price is an allowed amount, not guaranteed collections.
Talk with us FOR YOUR PRACTICE
Neurology
Coordinate complex neurologic care between visits, especially after a stroke or for a high-risk condition that needs a focused plan and clear escalation.
RELEVANT PATHWAYS
Programs to consider for your patients
PCM · Principal Care Management
A qualifying high-risk neurologic condition needing unusually complex, disease-specific management.
Patient example, requirements, and billingTCM · Transitional Care Management
A qualifying discharge, timely contact, and an eligible practitioner who owns the transition and follow-up visit.
Patient example, requirements, and billingPIN · Principal Illness Navigation
Navigation for a qualifying serious, high-risk illness when treatment barriers require the defined service.
Patient example, requirements, and billingRPM · Remote Physiologic Monitoring
A clinician-selected physiologic measure, such as blood pressure, that can inform the neurologic treatment plan.
Patient example, requirements, and billingCCM · Chronic Care Management
Whole-person coordination of two or more qualifying chronic conditions only when this practice actually owns that service.
Patient example, requirements, and billingHow to choose—and what must be verified
Choose one problem before choosing a code: complex disease management, a qualifying post-discharge transition, serious-illness navigation, or useful connected physiologic data. A neurologic diagnosis is a clinical starting point, not a claim decision.
A neurologic diagnosis does not itself establish PCM or PIN, and a patient-reported symptom log is not RPM physiologic-device data. Do not count the same work or minutes twice.
PAYMENT & FINANCIAL PICTURE
How would payment and practice costs work?
An eligible billing practice may be paid for a fully supported service under its payer arrangement. PCM, PIN, TCM, CCM, and RPM have different evidence and payment rules; they are not a package to bill automatically.
What does PrimeVital charge?
PrimeVital’s operational fee is set in a written agreement. The practice also plans for clinician review, any device expense, patient cost sharing and unsuccessful claims.
The treating practitioner may bill a qualifying Part B service—not automatically the facility or agency.
Check enrollment, the exact service, stay dates, place of service and existing services. A Part A stay and care after discharge are different situations.
- Model PCM, TCM, PIN, or RPM only for patients and periods that meet each service’s separate requirements. Never use a diagnosis count as an enrollment or payment estimate.
- Include practitioner review, support labor, technology if used, failed outreach, and any overlap with another clinician’s care-management service.
Illustrative PCM model
These starting figures are hypothetical. They are not Medicare rates, a PrimeVital quote, or a payment forecast. PrimeVital pilot terms are not modelled automatically. Replace them with your verified contract, service mix, and cost assumptions.
Estimate net after your agreed service fee and other costs
Enter the total fees from your written agreement. No fee is prefilled. Pilot service fees are paid from collections; treatment of denied or insufficient collections must be agreed before launch.
Leave at zero if already included in the service fee. Avoid counting it twice.
Shown separately from recurring operating costs.
35 of 50 patients meet the assumed service requirements.
Illustrative collections before service and practice costs: $3,500. This uses the hypothetical per-patient amount and collection rate above; it is not a code-specific Medicare estimate.
To estimate the amount remaining for the practice, open the cost section and enter the total service fee from a written proposal. We do not invent a PrimeVital price or show a misleading net amount before that is known.
Contribution is before other overhead and taxes. Actual billing uses service-level evidence and rules; this simplified model does not select codes, approve eligibility, or guarantee outcomes. Patient cost sharing and QMB protections must be checked separately.
THE WORKING PROCESS
From neurologic need to completed follow-through
An illustrative operating workflow. Agree on the exact roles, clinical protocol, records, and service scope before launch.
- 1
Select the patient and service
Treating neurology professional
Assess clinical risk and choose a program only when its complete patient, practitioner, and service requirements fit.
- 2
Agree on the clinical plan
Neurologist + care team
Define goals, medicines, referral steps, warning signs, who receives escalations, and who contacts the patient.
- 3
Support between visits
Agreed support team
Coordinate approved outreach, records, appointments, and barriers. Use a connected physiologic device only if the chosen RPM service needs it.
- 4
Act on clinical changes
Neurology professional
Evaluate concerning symptoms or readings, decide treatment, and communicate changes to other treating teams.
- 5
Close the loop
Practice billing and clinical leads
Review the actual service record, distinct time or data where applicable, payer rules, and patient and practice outcomes.
Your first step
Select a small patient group and ask the neurologist which unresolved follow-up issue matters most. Identify the primary-care and other care teams already contacting those patients, then verify payer, service ownership, and required documentation.
EXAMPLES FOR YOUR SETTING
Start with a real need in your practice.
These scenarios show what to evaluate, rather than automatically assign a program or approve reimbursement.
After stroke discharge
The neurologist may assess TCM when the discharge setting, contact deadline, visit, and care responsibility fit. Routine post-discharge calls alone are insufficient.
Complex movement or seizure disorder
Consider PCM only if the condition, risk, care plan, service elements, and qualifying time meet the rule; a diagnosis by itself is not enough.
Dementia with treatment barriers
PIN may be worth evaluating when the illness and navigation work meet CMS criteria. A referral list or reminder is not the full service.
YOUR INVOLVEMENT
Agree on responsibilities before the first patient starts.
Your organization
Your neurologic clinician decides who needs the service, sets the treatment and escalation plan, performs required practitioner work, and approves documentation and claims.
PrimeVital’s agreed support
An agreed support team can help coordinate enrollment, outreach, referrals, care-plan follow-through, records, and billing handoffs. Any device or clinical staffing must be scoped to the selected program.
Service hours, professional qualifications, technology, integrations, records access, and fees are confirmed in the engagement. Front-desk automation handles agreed administrative tasks; clinical judgment and claims remain with the responsible qualified professionals.
WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
A practical launch checklist.
- Name the treating neurologist or other eligible practitioner and identify which organization already coordinates care.
- Confirm the chosen program’s clinical threshold, consent, initiating service, time, and documentation.
- Agree on who handles urgent neurologic symptoms; PrimeVital support is not an emergency response service.
- For RPM, distinguish a qualifying connected physiologic device from a symptom diary or seizure log.
- Check the payer, setting, overlapping services, and who may bill before forecasting revenue.
COMMON OWNER QUESTIONS
Resolve these before committing.
Can a seizure diary be billed as RPM?
A diary or self-reported symptom log alone is not RPM physiologic data from a qualifying connected medical device. Evaluate its clinical usefulness separately from any payment path.
Can PrimeVital handle neurologic emergencies?
No. The practice must set urgent and emergency instructions, clinical coverage, and escalation responsibility. PrimeVital supports only the agreed workflow and hours.
BENEFITS TO TRACK
Choose a baseline and a review date.
Agree on the measures that matter to your patients and team.
- Treatment-plan follow-through
- Completed referrals and resolved barriers
- Actionable escalations returned to the neurologist
- Actual workload and collections
