CCM PROVIDERS
It's Time You
Stood Out
Boost your Chronic Care Management and separate yourself from the competition by adding this missing, Medicare-backed piece to your medication therapy management program.
What’s the
missing piece?
Medicare has issued Gravity a code that covers Comprehensive Pharmacogenetic Testing (PGx) to help guide prescription and dosage decisions.
How does this help me?
Adding PGx to the Medication Therapy Management component of your CCM can raise your program’s value
by improving quality of care in three ways:
Protects patients by:
- Avoiding preventable ADRs
- Reducing medications
- Improving therapeutic outcomes
- Increasing patient adherence to MTM
Protects practices by:
- Generating a PGx test results report that highlights:
1. Drugs with FDA gene-drug warning labels
2. Drugs most often implicated in adverse drug reactions with gene-drug implications
Improve MIPS Quality Measures by:
- Reducing hospital admission rate for patients with multiple chronic conditions
- Reducing unplanned cardiovascular admission rates
- Reducing all-cause unplanned readmissions
How does it work?
- We identify patients who are taking one or more of the 26 most dangerous drugs to prescribe without PGx guidance in accordance with the FDA but are deemed medically necessary.
- Once patients are identified and medical necessity confirmed, the Provider adds PGx test to CCM treatment plan
- We assist with sample collection and obtain necessary patient information for Medicare billing
- We submit PGx Report results to patient(s) EMR, highlighting any potential drug-gene risk
- Provider consults PGx report to see if any alternative drug/dose regimen is necessary

Why risk it when there’s a better way?
All medications approved by the FDA pose a certain amount of risk. Some are riskier than others. And some don’t seem to work at all. Why is that?
For any medication to be safe and effective, it must:
1. Be absorbed and used by the body
2. Have the right “drug concentration + blood plasma” ratio to be effective
3. Affect its specific target in a cell (e.g. an enzyme) or cell function (e.g. cell growth)
4. Remain unaffected by other medications in the bloodstream
Discovering the “Goldilocks” Medications
Genetic variation is what makes us all unique. The color of your hair, your eyes, even your height are all due to this genetic variance. It’s how your genes express themselves.
Medications fail to work—or cause unwanted and uncomfortable side effects—because an individual’s unique genetic variance doesn’t express the right proteins (found in genes) in the right amount to metabolize the drug as expected.
IMPORTANT FACT TO KNOW:
91% of people have at least 1 genetic variance
