RPM can be helpful for many types of doctors, like those who specialize in heart issues, lung problems, diabetes, digestive problems, and weight management.
How does RPM billing work?
To bill for RPM services, a physician or qualified healthcare professional must first order an FDA-approved remote medical device that collects and transmits patient data to the care team. This includes devices for monitoring vital signs like weight, blood pressure, and oxygen levels. The provider must then spend at least 20 minutes each month reviewing the patient data and addressing any urgent issues.
For billing purposes, providers should use CPT codes:
-
99453 and 99454 for the RPM device and software setup.
-
99091 for the time spent each month managing the RPM program.
Outsourcing RPM Billing Services helps avoid managing a separate billing department and ensures accurate and timely processing.
RPM services can be billed together with Chronic Care Management (CCM) services. It’s important to clearly document when CCM services are provided in addition to RPM, as CMS differentiates between the two.
