C3 Partners (C3P) combines healthcare technology, AI-enabled analytics, regulatory expertise, and hands-on operational support to help health systems, ACOs, and physician networks improve performance at scale.

Optimize performance. Strengthen compliance. Improve care coordination. Capture financial opportunities. Advance RCM results.

Your commercial model is almost always performance-based: you earn a percentage of client collections, typically 4–8% of total Medicare billings.

Your RCM)/billing company manages the full billing life cycle for physician practices — claim submission, denial management, collections, and increasingly value-added services like quality reporting.

Most RCM/billing companies range from small boutique operations serving 5–20 physicians to mid-sized firms managing 50–300+ physicians. And hold both the data and the trust needed to drive MIPS and CCM outcomes — but are not currently leveraging either.

 The 3-Layer Problem— Why RCM/Billing Companies are Not Profiting from MIPS Today

Layer 1 — Staffing gap

• Only 1–2 of every 7 coders have real MIPS Quality coding experience.
• MIPS requires CMS measure spec knowledge, G-code logic, and eligible population rules.
• Training is slow and turnover is high — the expertise doesn't stick.

Layer 2 — Cost perception

• MIPS is viewed as overhead, not a revenue opportunity.
• CMS rules change annually — RCM & billing companies see complexity, not upside.
• Most either avoid MIPS entirely, do it minimally, or refer clients out.

Layer 3 — Client leakage

• Clients sent to 3rd-party registries for MIPS create a competing relationship.
• The registry becomes the trusted MIPS expert the physician relies on.
• This creates real churn risk on the billing company's core RCM contract.

The Key Insight—Bigger than You Realize

Your RCM/billing company earns 4–8% of client Medicare collections. A MIPS penalty reduces this fee schedule; a MIPS bonus increases it. That means every MIPS point directly impacts your company's bottom line — automatically, before any MIPS service fees are counted. A practice with a $2M Medicare base and a 10-point MIPS gain generates ~$48K in additional revenue. At 6%, that's $2,880 per practice, per year — compounding across their entire client portfolio.

Four Partnership Models—Infrastructure. Not a Competitor

Model 1 — C3P advises through the RCM/billing company.

• RCM/billing co. keeps the client relationship front and center.
• C3P advises on strategy, runs its platform, submits via Certified Registry.
• RCM/billing co. earns a referral or revenue share.
• Lowest lift to start — fastest path to revenue. 

Model 2 — MIPS in-house with C3P’s tools

• RCM/billing co. licenses C3P’s platform + AI suite directly.
• Delivers MIPS services under their own brand to clients.
• C3P provides onboarding, training, and CMS submission via Certified Registry.
• Best long-term model — full margin retained.

Model 3 — C3P trains RCM/billing company coders

• C3P trains quality coders on AI Suite + measure logic.
• Coders work inside existing workflow using C3P’s tools.
• Builds durable in-house MIPS capability over time.
• Ideal for mid-sized firms that want to own MIPS but lack bench depth today.

Model 4 — Revenue share partnership

• Together share revenue from MIPS consulting, optimization, and CMS submission.
• Structure varies based on who is doing the work.
• Directly aligned incentives — both parties grow when scores improve.
• Works best alongside Model 1 or 2.

Models are not mutually exclusive — most clients start at Model 1 and evolve toward Model 2 over time.

Three Business Value Models

Driver 1 — Code faster, code better

• C3P’s MACRA Monitor platform provides decision trees enforce CMS measure logic at the encounter level — no reliance on memory.
• Sage AI handles ambiguous encounters automatically, reducing escalations and rework.
• Queue Manager routes complex cases and tracks completion across the team.
• Result: more encounters per coder-hour, fewer errors, less pre-submission rework.

Driver 2 — Add a billable service line

• MIPS consulting, score optimization, and CMS submission become billable deliverables.
• C3P’s Certified Registry handles CMS submission — no separate registry credential needed.
• Clients who went to 3rd-party registries stay inside the RCM/billing company's relationship.
• Result: new, recurring, high-margin revenue on top of existing RCM billings.

Driver 3 — Revenue multiplier

• Earn 4–8% of client collections — tied directly to the fee schedule.
• Higher MIPS score → higher Medicare fee schedule →higher physician billings →automatic revenue gain.
• C3P’s MACRA Monitor makes this math visible: penalty floor, current trajectory, target, max reward.
• No behavior change required — the revenue gain is automatic when scores improve.

The Product Bundle

MACRA Monitor Financial Intelligence + Certified Registry. Translates MIPS scores into real dollar outcomes —penalty, trajectory, target, and max reward — in a single view. It handles all CMS eligibility queries and submission.

+Lumina Suite + Sage AI Coding Work bench + AI Inference Engine. Features 28+ decision trees built from CMS measure specs. AI flags ambiguous encounters before submission. Audit workbench creates a defensible correction trail. Zero installation — single HTML file.

C3P and C3-CCM want to help your client’s increase billing events with pmpm revenue without seeing more patients, while maintaining their independence and/or control of the way they practice.

Referring your clients to C3-CCM’s MCCM platform helps you enhance prestige. And this is obvious - when your clients’ reimbursement increases, so does your revenue.

As an RCM/billing company, you can and should play a key role in helping your clients wherever possible. And with your help, C3-CCM can extend Medicare Chronic Care Management (MCCM).

Why Your Clients’ Need to Revisit MCCM?

Most clinics have hundreds or thousands of Medicare patients who may qualify for Chronic Care Management (CCM), but in-house staff rarely have the capacity to provide the required monthly care-management time.

MCCM is worth another look. Clinics can begin identifying eligible patients—especially those with secondary insurance—and prepare for potential future changes to patient cost-sharing.

Why Previos CCM Programs Failed

Since 2015, many practices have tried outsourced CCM/RPM programs and experienced disappointing results, including:

• Poor patient enrollment and retention
• Inadequate or noncompliant documentation
• CMS audit and billing risk
• Low-quality care-management calls
• Patient confusion and complaints
• Unexpected workload for clinic staff
• Limited performance and enrollment reporting
• No meaningful feasibility analysis before implementation

The problem is often the implementation model—not MCCM itself.

A Better MCCM Model

C3-CCM de-risked the program by combining clinical staffing, technology, compliance, and program management to reduce operational burden and audit & liability risk,  and improve program performance.

What Differentiates the Model

• MCCM Feasibility Analysis before implementation
• Audit-ready documentation and CMS Incident-to-Billing compliance
• Proprietary SaaS technology platform for scheduling, documentation, billing, and reporting
• EHR and billing-system integration
• Flexible clinical staffing
• Patient enrollment, engagement, and retention strategies
• Ongoing program management and performance visibility

MCCM Feasibility Analysis

A feasibility analysis determines:

• Whether MCCM is appropriate for their organization
• Which physicians and patients should participate
• Expected enrollment and financial potential
• Staffing requirements and responsibilities
• Patient engagement strategy
• Program structure and implementation requirements

Low-Risk Micro-Pilot

Rather than committing their entire patient population, the program can begin with a small group of eligible Medicare patients with secondary insurance.

During the 60-day pilot, C3-CCM shall:

• Conduct monthly care-management outreach
• Document activities in the EHR
• Manage patient engagement
• Measure patient satisfaction
• Demonstrate operational performance and financial potential

What MCCM Provides

MCCM provides proactive, non-face-to-face care management for Medicare patients with two or more chronic conditions.

Care may include:

• Medication management
• Post-visit follow-up
• Specialist and referral coordination
• Symptom triage
• Chronic-condition monitoring
• Patient education and reassurance
• Health-goal support

Patients must opt in and required documentation, care plans, and billing requirements must be followed.

The Opportunity

For RCM/Billing Company

• Enhanced prestige
• Earns a percentage of client collections, typically 4–8% of total MCCM billings

For Clients

• Additional reimbursable care-management revenue
• Less workload for existing staff
• Better visibility into program performance
• Scalable clinical staffing

For Patients

• More support between office visits
• Better care coordination
• Medication and symptom support
• Greater access to their care team

The Challenge

Successful MCCM requires more than billing codes. It requires:

• Compliance
• Patient identification and enrollment
• Patient engagement
• Appropriate staffing
• Physician and staff education
• Clinical workflows
• Technology and reporting
• Ongoing program management
