Principal Care Management Designed to Produce Outcomes

Vironix Health turns PCM into measurable patient, provider, and financial results — eliminating friction with remotely monitored, end-to-end chronic care solutions and services.

Healthcare organizations are increasingly managing patients whose risk is driven not by multiple conditions that qualify for Chronic Care Management — but by one dominant, complex disease. These patients require focused, high-touch, primary or specialty-driven care that traditional visit-based models fail to support.

Principal Care Management (PCM) is the CMS-supported solution — and Vironix Health turns PCM into measurable outcomes. We deliver positive patient, provider, financial, and analytic outcomes by eliminating friction with remotely monitored and managed end-to-end chronic care solutions and services.

What is Principal Care Management?

Principal Care Management is a Medicare Part B program designed for patients with:

• One serious chronic condition
• Expected to last at least 3 months
• High risk of hospitalization, exacerbation, or functional decline

Unlike Chronic Care Management (CCM), PCM is condition-specific and may be specialty-driven, making it ideal for:

• Cardiology
• Nephrology
• Gastroenterology
• Pulmonology
• Gerontology
• Oncology supportive care
• Primary Care

PCM is the reimbursement model that supports focused, remote care management between visits — and Vironix operationalizes it at scale.
