Chronic Conditions More
Common in Hispanics
(Family Features)
Heart disease, cancer, diabetes and stroke are
among the most common causes of illness,
disability and death in the United States,
according to the Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC). These chronic con-
ditions and the factors that lead to them can
be more common or severe in minorities,
including Hispanics.
For example, 4 out of 10 Hispanics die due
to heart disease or cancer, and they are 50
percent more likely to die due to diabetes than
Caucasians, according to the CDC.
Services like Chronic Care Management
(CCM) can help people living with chronic
conditions coordinate care services and lead
to better outcomes and higher satisfaction.
If you are a Medicare beneficiary with two or more chronic conditions, ask your
doctor about CCM and see if you’re eligible for connected care, including services
such as:
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Health Resources and
Service Administration introduced the “Connected Care” campaign to help raise
awareness about the benefits of CCM. The campaign has free resources, including
an animated video in English and Spanish that can help you learn more.
Talk to your doctor to see if CCM is available to you and visit Medicare.gov to learn
more about the benefits of the program.
ï At least 20 minutes a month of CCM services.
ï Personalized assistance from a dedicated health care professional who will work
with you to create a care plan.
ï Coordination of care between your pharmacy, specialists, testing centers, hospitals
and more.
ï Phone check-ins between visits to keep you on track.
ï Emergency access to a health care professional 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
ï Expert assistance with setting and meeting your health goals.
