Tcm documentation
Here is the only documentation I have found on the CMS website. Here is the link

Notice there is a line that states: The TCM visit is billed on the day that the TCM visit takes place, and only one TCM visit may be paid per beneficiary for services furnished during that 30 day post-discharge period.
110.4 - Transitional Care Management (TCM) Services
(Rev. 217, Issued: 12-31-15, Effective: 02-01-16, Implementation: 02-01-16)
Effective January 1, 2013, RHCs and FQHCs can bill for qualified TCM services furnished by a RHC or FQHC practitioner. TCM services must be furnished within 30 days of the date of the patient’s discharge from a hospital (including outpatient observation or partial hospitalization), SNF, or community mental health center.
Communication (direct contact, telephone, or electronic) with the patient or caregiver must commence within 2 business days of discharge, and a face-to-face visit must occur within 14 days of discharge for moderate complexity decision making (CPT code 99495), or within 7 days of discharge for high complexity decision making (CPT code 99496). The TCM visit is billed on the day that the TCM visit takes place, and only one TCM visit may be paid per beneficiary for services furnished during that 30 day post-discharge period. The TCM visit is subject to applicable copayments and deductibles.
TCM services can be billed as a stand-alone visit if it is the only medical service provided on that day with a RHC or FQHC practitioner and it meets the TCM billing requirements. If it is furnished on the same day as another visit, only one visit can be billed.
