Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)

VTmedi’s Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) service empowers clinics to deliver proactive, personalized care by leveraging real-time health data—securely collected from patients in the comfort of their homes. Through our fully supported platform, physicians can remotely monitor key vitals such as blood pressure, blood glucose, weight, and oxygen saturation, enabling early intervention and improved health outcomes.

Why RPM Matters:

Home-Based Monitoring: Patients use connected medical devices to send their health data daily or weekly to the provider’s care team.

Continuous Engagement: Our platform ensures consistent patient-provider interaction, fostering better adherence and accountability.

Better Outcomes: Early detection of issues leads to fewer hospitalizations and ER visits, while improving chronic disease management.

What VTmedi Plus Delivers:

• FDA-approved devices delivered and set up for each patient

• Real-time data tracking with actionable alerts

• Integrated support for documentation and Medicare-compliant billing

• Optional care coordination through our Chronic Care Management (CCM) and Behavioral Health Integration (BHI) programs

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) enables clinicians to track patients’ vital signs and health data in real time using connected devices. It is designed for managing chronic conditions (e.g. hypertension, diabetes, heart failure) by collecting daily physiologic metrics like blood pressure, blood glucose, pulse oximetry, weight, and more

Overview

Medicare’s RPM program allows providers to deliver telehealth-based monitoring to eligible patients at home, improving chronic care management and reducing hospitalizations.

Patients measure their biometrics via easy-to-use devices, and data is transmitted to VTmedi’s platform where clinical staff review trends and alert physicians to concerning changes. This continuous oversight helps catch issues early and improves clinical outcomes while lowering total cost of care

99453 – Initial device setup and patient education (one-time per patient). payment: $______ Billed after at least 16 days of monitoring data in a 30-day period.

99454 – Monthly supply of devices and data transmission services. Requires 16+ days of readings per month. payment: $______ per month

CPT Codes & 2025 Reimbursement

99457 – First 20 minutes of RPM data review and interactive management in a month. Requires live patient-clinician communication (e.g. phone consult). payment: $_____ per month

99458 – Each additional 20 minutes of RPM management in the month beyond the initial 20 min. Average payment: $_____

(Note: CPT 99091 for 30-min data interpretation also exists but is less commonly used. RPM and RTM cannot both be billed for the same patient in one month

These reimbursement rates illustrate the revenue potential. For example, a clinic providing RPM to 100 patients could generate over $4,000 per month from code 99454 alone, plus management fees from 99457/99458. RPM codes can be billed alongside Chronic Care Management (CCM) in the same month, as long as time spent is not double-counted

Workflow & VTmedi Support

VTmedi handles the end-to-end RPM workflow, making it easy for your practice to implement this program at scale:

Patient Enrollment & Consent: We identify eligible Medicare patients (with chronic conditions) and obtain consent for RPMtelehealth.hhs.govtelehealth.hhs.gov. VTmedi’s team can help with patient outreach and education about the RPM program’s benefits
