A 'diabetes-centric' philosophy means that medical clinics can focus on various aspects of managing and treating diabetes-related conditions, beyond just monitoring blood glucose levels. This approach can be adapted to different clinic sizes and resources. For instance, larger clinics may be able to offer a wider range of diagnostic tests and treatments, while smaller clinics may focus on patient education and simple biometric monitoring like blood sugars and A1c's, rather then referring it to a lab. The goal is to ensure that all facets of a patient's health related to diabetes-related conditions are managed efficiently. Even if clinics cannot fully adopt this approach, it is still beneficial to focus on one or two areas of diabetes care, such as cardiovascular risk factors, or patient education videos. and thousands more

Time-Based Billing
As published in JAMA Network Open, researchers with the University of Chicago and Oregon Health & Science University sought to quantify whether time-based billing can generate more revenue compared with billing that’s based on medical decision-making as reflected in CPT codes. “Studies show that physicians spend substantial time doing work that is not explicitly reportable by the E/M system of MDM-based billing, including medical record review, documentation, and coordination of care,” the researchers wrote. “As a result, many physicians report averaging one to two hours of unreimbursed, after-work hours daily.”
Meanwhile, 2021 changes to E/M guidelines “allow physicians to bill for face-to-face time and for previously unreimbursed time spent on medical record review, documentation and coordination of care on the day of the patient encounter.” CPT states, “When counseling and/or coordination of care dominates (more than 50%) the physician/patient and/or family encounter (face-to-face time in the office or other outpatient setting or floor/unit time in the hospital or nursing facility), then time may be considered the key or controlling factor to qualify for a particular level of E/M services.” This means that time alone can be used to select a level of care, regardless of the extent of the history, exam, or the medical-decision making, if the majority of the encounter involves counseling or coordination of care. For E/M services, counseling may include a discussion of test results, diagnostic or treatment recommendations, prognosis, risks, and benefits of management options, instructions, education, compliance, or risk-factor reduction.
