What Is Chronic
Illnesses Care
Chronic Illnesses Care is a Medicare‑supported program for patients with 2 or more long‑term conditions. Through Chronic Care Management, you receive monthly check‑ins, medication support, and coordinated care that helps you manage your health more effectively at home. A dedicated CareHarmony coordinator works with your Texas Sinus and Snoring provider to help you follow treatment plans, organize appointments, and stay on track between visits.
This partnership gives you access to a coordinator who understands your medical history, assists with day‑to‑day needs, and provides support between office visits. You also gain help with preventive care, specialist coordination, and available community resources.

How Chronic Care
Management Works
Each month, your coordinator calls to review symptoms, medications, and any changes in your health. These calls help you stay consistent with treatment plans and give you a chance to address questions that come up between visits.
You also have access to a 24/7 support line through CareHarmony for questions related to your care, instructions, or treatment needs. This continuous access helps keep your care organized and reduces the stress of managing multiple conditions on your own.
Support for Chronic Illnesses
Chronic Illnesses Care works alongside the treatments you already receive at Texas Sinus and Snoring. The program provides additional support for:
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Using Inspire or CPAP
Improve adherence, reinforce therapy goals, coordinate follow‑up, and help manage related chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease.
