Current Reimbursement Structure
RTM is billed once per episode of care for setup/education, then recurring monthly for device supply and, separately, for treatment-management time — mirroring RPM's three-component model but under its own code family.

Rate Variation
Like all Physician Fee Schedule amounts, RTM payment is adjusted by locality (Geographic Practice Cost Index) and updated at least annually — a national figure is a reference point, not a guarantee.
Device/Data Components
RTM's device-supply component covers data related to musculoskeletal or respiratory system status, which can include self-reported information in addition to device-transmitted data.
Treatment Management
RTM treatment-management billing requires monthly qualifying time and at least one interactive communication with the patient or caregiver, the same structure as RPM's treatment-management requirement.
