The Remote Monitoring Leadership Council sent a letter to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) with a call to action on the future of remote physiologic monitoring.
Specifically, as CMS looks at modernizing Medicare, by leveraging technology, the Council requested CMS to consider recommendations to ensure RPM continues to serve Medicare beneficaries.
The Council believes CMS should modernize the way it reimburses to:
- Include the necessary capabilities of a top-tier RPM program – such as capturing costs related to the software and technology required to delivery these services at scale.
- Account for average patient complexity, including presence of co-morbid conditions that are better managed when a patient receives RPM.
- Adopt reasonable guardrails to ensure patients are receiving a high-quality RPM services and the Medicare program sees the cost-savings that we know they generate.
