Between-visit care for Medicare patients, delivered and billed.

Butler partners with primary care practices and ACOs to keep patients with chronic conditions reached between visits, and to capture the Medicare payments that cover that work. Patients get someone holding their whole picture. Practices get revenue and a lighter load.

Care teams know who needs follow-up. They can’t get to them.

A patient leaves with a new medication, a lab order, and a follow-up in three months. What happens in between decides how they do. Care teams already know who needs a check-in. The limit is not clinical judgment, it is how many people a nurse can call in a day.

How it works

1. We review your panel and select which members are eligible for which program.

APCM covers your whole attributed Medicare panel. PIN covers patients with serious, high-risk conditions. You get back a list of who qualifies for what.

  • 81 years old, heart failure and kidney disease
  • Serious and high risk, so PIN navigation applies on top of APCM
  • Check-in every two weeks, weight and symptoms
  • 72 years old, hypertension and type 2 diabetes
  • Attributed to your panel, so APCM applies
  • Check-in every two weeks, medication and home blood pressure
  • 75 years old, osteoarthritis and no other active conditions
  • APCM covers the whole attributed panel, not only the sickest
  • Check-in monthly, function and pain

2. You create your own protocols for each patient, sped up with AI.

We read the care plan out of your EHR and draft the questions, the cadence, and who each answer routes to. You edit anything you want and approve it. Not a generic reminder campaign.

Lisinopril 10 mg daily

Home blood pressure, goal under 140/90. A1c recheck in 3 months. Follow-up visit in 12 weeks.

Check in every 2 weeks, by text

“Have you taken your lisinopril every day?” and “What is your most recent home blood pressure?” Missed doses route to the RN care manager.

3. Our AI care managers run the outreach, and we flag the members who need you.

Timed check-ins by text, interpreted against the patient’s conditions and care plan. Routine answers are documented back to the chart. What warrants clinical attention is escalated to the right role on your team. The contact and the documentation produce the claim, and you get paid.

Not another inbox.

Most outreach tools collect responses and hand your staff a second queue to reconcile against the chart. That is more work, not less. Butler interprets each response in the patient’s clinical context and routes only what warrants attention, to the role that should handle it, written back into the record your team already uses.

Covered by Medicare

Advanced Primary Care Management, introduced in 2025, pays a bundled monthly amount per patient with no minute tracking. Principal Illness Navigation, introduced in 2024, covers navigation for patients with serious high-risk conditions. Most practices capture little of either, because capturing it takes sustained between-visit contact they do not have the staff to deliver. We deliver the contact and produce the documentation that supports the claim.

Who it’s for

Primary care practices.

APCM covers your whole attributed Medicare panel, not just the sickest patients. We run the contact for all of it.

ACOs and value-based organizations.

Reach the attributed population at the cadence the care plan calls for, with escalation that lands on the right person.

Specialty practices.

For patients with serious high-risk conditions, we support navigation and condition-specific care management alongside the treating team.
