About the Course
Introduction
This CLE webinar will guide healthcare counsel on remote patient monitoring. The panel will examine reimbursement standards for remote physiologic monitoring (RPM) and remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM). The panel will also address privacy, security, and compliance challenges of remote patient monitoring.
Description
Since Medicare began paying for RPM services in 2018 the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has expanded RPM coverage with additional codes and guidance, and in 2022 began covering RTM.
CMS has continued to revise Medicare payment policies for remote patient monitoring so that RPM and RTM can be provided "incident to" under general supervision, thereby making it less burdensome for providers to furnish remote patient monitoring services.
Those utilizing RPM or RTM must ensure they comply with licensure, scope of practice, coding and related requirements to be eligible for reimbursement.
Further, patient monitoring has historically been set up in healthcare facilities, while RPM and the associated monitoring equipment are deployed in the patient's home. This difference presents risks, including to data privacy and security. Among other issues, wireless networks, platforms, and devices are susceptible to being hacked, allowing access to sensitive health information, and many questions have arisen about considerations for patients' privacy and the security of their information.
As healthcare provider organizations seek to invest in and utilize RPM or RTM solutions, particularly as patients have become more accustomed to remote care post-pandemic, they should consider the risks and compliance challenges to RPM and understand the reimbursement landscape.
Listen as our authoritative panel of healthcare attorneys examines reimbursement standards for remote patient monitoring. The panel will also address the challenges of remote patient monitoring, such as privacy and security, as well as related compliance considerations.
