Practices should verify current Medicare and payer requirements before submitting claims.
Important RPM Requirements
Medical necessity
The treating practitioner should determine that remote monitoring is reasonable and necessary for the patient's condition.
Connected medical device
RPM generally requires qualifying data to be digitally collected and transmitted from an eligible connected medical device.
Patient consent
Practices should obtain and document consent according to current Medicare and payer requirements.
Accurate monitoring-day tracking
Your RPM workflow should clearly identify how many qualifying days of data were received during each monitoring period.
Example
A patient with hypertension transmits blood-pressure readings using a connected device on 10 qualifying days during a 30-day period. If all other billing requirements are satisfied, CPT 99445 may be relevant.
