It involves monitoring and analyzing a patient’s physiological data related to an acute health illness or a chronic condition.

Examples include temperature, blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, vital signs, and pacemaker information.

RPM requires devices to obtain physiological information accurately and submit that data through a technology system. This technology must use either internet or Bluetooth. This information should be available for the provider and must not require the patient to self-report the info. It is also essential to have a system that allows the provider and clinical staff to bring feedback and reach out to patients in case any abnormal reading is detected.

Medicare and the majority of Medicaid plans reimburse RPM services. Other commercial carriers are now paying for it, including Medicare Advantage Plans. Other self-insured groups provide remote monitoring to their employees to keep their insurance costs down.

Most chronic conditions are eligible for RPM, including hypertension, diabetes, obesity, asthma, and heart failure, although this list is not limited.

According to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, RPM might reduce readmissions by 76%
