CCN Health provides a certified Principal Care Management (PCM) integration with August Health designed specifically for ccrc campuses, featuring fall detection technology. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
Fall Detection for CCRC PCM with August Health
For ccrc campuses running PCM through August Health, fall detection addresses a critical need: managing monitoring across multiple care levels on one campus. Sensor-based fall detection uses radar presence sensing combined with movement pattern analysis to identify falls in real-time, even when no one witnesses the event.
Why Fall Detection for CCRC
CCRC campuses serve residents across the full continuum of care — from independent living through assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing — within a single campus. Fall Detection is particularly relevant because:
- Detects falls even when no staff member is present
- Reduces time-to-response for fall events
- No wearable pendant that residents forget or refuse to use
How Fall Detection Works
Sensor-based fall detection uses radar presence sensing combined with movement pattern analysis to identify falls in real-time, even when no one witnesses the event.
Data Captured
- Fall events
- Room presence/absence
- Activity patterns
- Bed exit timing
- Nighttime movement frequency
Benefits for CCRC Campuses
Continuum Coverage
One monitoring platform covers every care level — data follows the resident as acuity changes.
Transition Support
Continuous monitoring data informs care level transitions with objective health metrics.
Campus-Wide Insights
Aggregated data across all care levels supports operational planning and quality improvement.
Fall Detection vs. Traditional Approaches
| Factor | Sensor-Based | Traditional |
|---|---|---|
| Detection Method | Automatic via radar/presence | Pendant press or staff witness |
| False Alarms | Low — pattern-based detection | High with motion sensors |
| Resident Compliance | No action needed | Must wear and press pendant |
| Night Coverage | Continuous without disruption | Rounds-based, gaps between checks |
| Data Integration | Linked to vital signs and EHR | Standalone incident report |
Common Conditions in CCRC
- hypertension
- diabetes
- heart failure
- COPD
- fall risk
- cognitive decline
Billing & Reimbursement
Fall Detection data contributes to PCM billing in ccrc settings:
| CPT Code | Reimbursement | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 99424 | ~$70/mo | 30+ minutes of clinical staff time per month |
| 99425 | ~$56/mo | Each additional 30 minutes of clinical time |
| 99426 | ~$80/mo | 30+ minutes of physician/QHP time |
| 99427 | ~$64/mo | Each additional 30 minutes of physician time |
Monthly potential per resident: $70+

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about implementation, billing, and clinical workflows.
Yes. CCN Health integrates with August Health to deliver RPM data directly into resident records, supporting senior care practices with automated vital sign documentation.
PCM focuses on patients with a single high-risk chronic condition, billed under CPT codes 99424 and 99425, covering care coordination and management services.
CCRCs use RPM across all levels of care—from independent living to skilled nursing—providing a consistent monitoring platform that follows residents as their care needs evolve.
Fall detection devices use accelerometers and AI algorithms to identify fall events and immediately alert clinical staff, reducing response times and improving outcomes.
Most facilities are fully operational within 2–4 weeks. CCN Health handles device provisioning, EHR integration setup, staff training, and ongoing clinical support.
