Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Tariffs

The five chronic disease management (CDM) tariffs were introduced to help doctors spend more time with the patients who need it most. These tariffs also acknowledge the link between comprehensive chronic disease management and better patient health.

These tariffs are billable annually for providing comprehensive chronic disease management to a patient with one or more of the following chronic diseases:

  • Diabetes
  • Asthma
  • Congestive Heart Failure
  • Coronary Artery Disease
  • Hypertension

Who can bill these tariffs?

These tariffs may be billed by a General Practice physician who has provided:

  • the majority of a patient’s ongoing comprehensive medical care in relation to the management of the chronic disease in the preceding 12 months;
  • ongoing coordination with other allied health care providers respecting the management of the patient’s condition and patient care plan, as appropriate;
  • ongoing communication with the patient, monitoring of the patient’s condition and patient care plan, as appropriate; and
  • supporting information to Manitoba Health demonstrating that the patient has received all the required services for the tariff during the preceding 12 months.

This supporting information may be submitted on an approved Patient Care Treatment Form, or by data extract from a Manitoba-approved Electronic Medical Record (EMR) system containing equivalent information.

Chronic Disease Management - Manitoba Primary Care Quality Indicators Guide

This document has been created to identify the indicators required to assess the medical claim tariff billed against the chronic disease management patient care treatment forms. The purpose of this document is to describe the indicators that Manitoba Health has adopted for measuring quality processes in primary care, and which are currently used in conjunction with the chronic disease tariff billed through the Claims Unit in Fee-For-Service/Insured Services.

A Patient Care Treatment form is not required in order to bill for Annual Management of Asthma. The physician must complete an Asthma Action Plan and retain the information in the patient’s record. Remarks on the claim advising that an Asthma Action Plan was completed are sufficient for billing purposes.

Patient Care Treatment Forms may be submitted to Manitoba Health by mail.
