Chronic care management (CCM) is a specific care management service that provides coverage for individuals with two or more chronic diseases, facilitating an ongoing relationship with their individual medical care team. This program includes developing a comprehensive care plan, coordination of care between providers, medication therapy management, and interactive remote communication and management (generally over the phone).
Chronic care management is offered at Gastroenterology Associates and can be advantageous for individuals as it pertains to continuous health and wellness support. It also promotes increased access to the proper medical resources, improved communication with members of their care team, fewer emergency room visits and hospital stays or readmissions, and increased participation in the patient's individual healthcare.

Visit to see Doctor Berggreen was taken on time and sufficient time was taken to discuss my problems and test that were needed for further diagnosis. Leslie Gendron
Dr. Porta and his staff are very friendly. He listens to what you have to say and explains in words you can understand. He takes his time with you instead of rushing like other doctors. He is helping me with my medical problem when no other doctor would. I highly recommend him.
