Introduction By now, it is pretty easy to understand why Remote Patient/Physiological Monitoring (RPM) is here to stay. It’s very difficult to debunk this service as it benefits the patient, the public, and the provider.  But as with all successful programs, the laws and regulations evolve with time to ensure compliance and efficacy of the program. 

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services released their proposed 2022 Medicare Physician Fees Schedule on July 13th. The release was in accordance with five new CPT Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) codes that deal with non-physiologic patient data, including respiratory system status, musculoskeletal system status, therapy/medication response, therapy/medication adherence, and pain. Although the proposed set of codes is accepted by advocates for virtual care, the proposed MPFS that deals with RTM is likely to bring as many questions as it answers.

Among other items, the proposal extends most COVID-19 freedoms to the end of 2023, along with some coverage for FQHCs and RHCs. Telehealth advocates will be pleased with the CMS proposed fee structure for physicians for 2022.
