What is a single, complex chronic condition?
An illness that
lasts for a prolonged period of time (3 months or more, and typically lifelong)
has multiple symptoms or systemic (whole-body) effects
requires multiple treatments, and usually the attention of multiple healthcare providers or facilities, and
possibly requires community- or home-based care
These conditions create unique needs, disabilities, or functional limitations in the person. Examples are heart failure, COPD, cancer, end-stage renal or liver disease, and diabetes plus one or more other conditions, among others.
Covered services
Medicare covers disease-specific services to help your loved one manage a single, complex chronic condition that puts you at risk of hospitalization, physical or cognitive decline, or death. If your loved one has one chronic high-risk condition that is expected to last at least 3 months (like cancer) and is not being treated for any other complex conditions, Medicare may pay for a healthcare provider's help to manage it. The provider will create a disease-specific care plan and continuously monitor and adjust it, including medications.
