Why It Matters
The Benefit of CCM for Nephrology Patients
Most patients under nephrology care are in early-stage CKD. For them, Chronic Care Management (CCM) is essential.
Close care coordination has been shown to slow CKD progression by keeping patients on track with diet and other health goals. Dialysis patients don't qualify, but CCM can prevent earlier-stage patients from progressing.
Our between-visit care covers care planning, access, symptom management, and social support. Pairing CCM with BHI adds value for CKD patients. Early identification and treatment of depression in CKD has shown long-term benefits.

Individualized to each patient's CKD stage and comorbidities.
Symptom Awareness
Early detection of red flags before they escalate.

In the Words of Patients
Stories shared by CKS care managers.
The patient is undergoing prostate treatment. He is grateful for a program that checks in, encourages him, and keeps him on track. Our monthly calls have become the highlight of his day: a safe place for his questions, his setbacks, and his wins. He said the program is more than communication between doctor visits. It’s a place where support reaches beyond healing.
A husband and wife said they feel lucky to have a dedicated manager for their health. Their doctor recently told them everything looked excellent. The couple credits the combination of medication and monthly follow-ups. They told the doctor the husband had a very dedicated ‘assistant.’

Research Brief
The GLP Problem: Dialysis, Consolidation & the Drugs Nobody Designed for the Kidney
A new class of drugs is reshaping nephrology. GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors are protecting kidneys well enough to bend the incidence curve for end-stage kidney disease. For independent practices, the shift hits clinical care and revenue together.
This Volume 1 brief examines how Medicare care management programs like Chronic Care Management can offset declining dialysis utilization. Practices protect revenue and deliver the proactive, pre-dialysis care patients now need most.

How Independent Nephrology Groups Can Thrive
Independent nephrology practices face pressure from every side. Large health systems compete aggressively for patients and physicians. Young physicians expect work-life balance. Patients are drawn to the resources big networks provide. How do independent groups compete and thrive?
