CMS codes allow for reimbursement to clinicians for the time they invest with patients between clinical visits or outside of traditional clinical settings.  Known as remote physiologic monitoring or remote patient monitoring, clinicians can now be reimbursed for device supply, on-boarding, patient education, monitoring and the management of a patients’ conditions.

Additionally, changes in Medicare Advantage plans could provide other reimbursement opportunities in 2020, allowing for the expansion of remote patient monitoring services for members.

Now is a good time to consider adding a remote patient monitoring (RPM) program to your practice.
