How it works

KangarooHealth CCM/PCM makes everything simple

1

You refer patients

Prescribe KangarooHealth CCM or PCM to a patient, similar to writing a prescription, often in combination with RPM or RTM. This could be one-click with an EMR integration, or one minute in the KangarooHealth referral platform.

2

We handle enrollment

KangarooHealth verifies eligibility for your patients, then arranges an intake call to learn about the patient’s health baseline, and establish health milestones per provider and the patient’s care plans / goals.

3

You see improved care and more revenue

Either your care team or our health coaches use our platform to monitor and engage patients, and establish a regular cadence of coaching sessions. We provide easy-to-use billing reports that streamline your monthly reimbursement claims. Full revenue cycle management service is also available.

Better care for patients, new revenue for your business. A true win-win.
