๐Is remote patient monitoring covered by Medicare?
โ Yes. Medicare Part B covers Remote Patient Monitoring when it involves medically necessary conditions such as diabetes or hypertension. Patients generally pay 20% coinsurance unless they have a supplemental plan, which may reduce the cost to zero.
๐ Who pays for the remote patient monitoring device?
โ RPM devices are provided by your healthcare provider and billed to Medicare or your insurance. Most patients do not pay out of pocket for the device itself.
๐ Is Medicare no longer covering telehealth services?
โ Medicare continues to cover telehealth services. Many coverage flexibilities are extended through 2024 and are likely to continue, especially for rural areas.
๐ Is remote therapeutic monitoring covered by insurance?
โ Yes. Medicare covers Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM), and many private insurers follow Medicare's coverage guidelines.
๐ Who can perform remote patient monitoring?
โ RPM can be performed by physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and clinical staff under medical supervision.

โDiabetes
โHypertension (high blood pressure)
โHeart disease / Congestive heart failure
โCOPD, asthma, and other respiratory conditions
โKidney disease
โObesity and weight-related conditions
โHigh-risk pregnancy
