Help your patients take fewer medications
Our clinical staff run gradual, monitored tapers under your physicians’ supervision. The documented time counts toward CCM codes your practice already bills — and the reimbursement is yours.
“Supervised taper time counts as billable care-management time.”

01Panel review
We flag patients on target medications. Your physicians approve each one.
02Supervised taper
Gradual dose reductions with scheduled check-ins, run by our staff under your supervision.
03Your practice bills
Documented time counts toward the CCM codes you already bill. The reimbursement is yours.
Where we start
Medication classes with published deprescribing protocols and clear risk in patients 65+. Your physicians approve every candidate.
Benzodiazepines & z-drugs
Long-term sedative use linked to falls and cognitive decline. Tapered gradually to avoid withdrawal.
Anticholinergics
High cumulative burden in older adults. We identify safer alternatives with your physicians.
CNS-active polypharmacy
Three or more CNS-active medications, reviewed and reduced one taper at a time.
The numbers we stand behind
Our protocols are evidence-based and every taper schedule is reviewed by our team of geriatricians and pharmacists.
Baseline discontinuation rate1
43%
of patients discontinued within six months in the D-PRESCRIBE randomized trial.
Billing ceiling
$167
per patient per month at 2026 national rates — 99490 plus two units of 99439 for 60 documented minutes.
Year-one model
$87,812
net collections at model defaults for a three-physician practice. Every assumption is adjustable.
From your panel to year-one revenue
Model defaults for a three-physician practice — roughly 600 Medicare patients per physician. Every number is adjustable.
An extension of your practice — not a referral out
Patients stay yours. Physicians stay in charge. We do the work in between.
Less workload, not more
Our staff handle outreach, taper schedules, check-in calls, and documentation. Your physicians approve and supervise.
Safety and monitoring
Gradual dose reductions with scheduled check-ins. Any concern pauses the taper and comes back to your physician.
Documentation that bills
Every minute is documented in your EHR and counts toward the CCM codes you already use. Your practice bills; the reimbursement is yours.
