Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)

What this entry covers

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is the use of connected devices to collect patient health data outside a clinic for review by a care team. HHS publishes a telehealth best practice guide on RPM, and CMS sets Medicare billing rules for remote physiologic monitoring through the annual Physician Fee Schedule.

MyRHC indexes this framework so practitioners, auditors, and automated agents can find the authoritative primary sources in one place. This page is a navigation aid. It is not legal advice and is not a substitute for the official text.
