How many regions or sites will there be under Phase I of the Chronic Care Improvement Programs? |
|

Answer |
| |
The statute does not define how many awards can be made for Phase I sites and the Secretary has the discretion to decide the ultimate number of sites so long as the program is being offered in areas where 10% of Medicare beneficiaries reside. In Phase I, the pilot phase, it is foreseeable that the entire effort could serve approximately 150,000 to 300,000 or more chronically ill beneficiaries. It is not unreasonable to estimate that there could be at least 10 sites awarded.
