Dear MKO

Can Care Coordination Management be telephone contact by the nurse?
$42 per month for 20 minutes of contact time is about $2 per minute -- but you know that once you get someone with multiple chronic conditions on the line, you will very likely spend more than 20 minutes. And that is at best $120/hour. Would do much better just seeing an extra Medicare patient per month if the doctor really has to get on the phone.

How does this work in the real world.
