Questions about remote patient monitoring.

RPM uses connected medical devices to collect a patient's vital signs at home, such as blood pressure, blood glucose, oxygen saturation and weight, and send them automatically to their care team. Medicare reimburses practices for setting patients up, supplying devices and managing their care based on the data.

• The patient agrees (consents) to the service.
• A physician or other qualified health care professional orders it.
• The device meets the FDA's definition of a medical device.
• Readings are transmitted digitally. Manually entered readings don't qualify.
• Readings are collected on enough days in each 30-day period: 16 or more for code 99454, or 2–15 for the new 2026 code 99445.

Six codes cover RPM in 2026: 99453 (setup and education), 99454 and 99445 (device supply), and 99457, 99458 and 99470 (treatment management time). See our 2026 billing guide for details on each.

It depends on your locality, how many patients you enroll and which services you provide each month. In a demo, we'll walk through pricing and expected reimbursement based on your own patient numbers.

We provide both. Patients receive cellular devices that work out of the box, and your team uses The Bridge, our software with encrypted transmission, automated reporting and alerting, time tracking and compliance metrics.

Yes. RPM services can be performed by the physician, a qualified health care professional, or clinical staff such as nurses and medical assistants working under the physician's supervision, subject to state law.

RPM is a Medicare Part B service, so the patient's usual Part B coinsurance (typically 20%) applies unless they have supplemental coverage.

No. Our devices send readings over the cellular network, so patients just take their reading as usual. There's no app, pairing or internet connection to manage.

Yes, when the patient qualifies for both and the time and documentation for each service are kept separate.

No. RPM is ongoing monitoring of readings against the ranges your physician sets. It is not an emergency service. Patients should always call 911 in an emergency.
