Healthcare Technology For Promoting Healthier Lifestyles
Expert Healthcare
The traditional model, known as fee-for-service, simply assigns reimbursements based on what services a healthcare organization provides. But in value-based care, reimbursement is contingent upon the quality of the care provided and it comes tethered to patient outcomes. This seemingly simple pivot of emphasis requires major changes on the part of healthcare providers. The old fee-for- service model encourages healthcare providers to fill as many beds and perform as many high-tech procedures, as possible. That succeeds in driving up the cost of healthcare, but it doesn’t improve patient outcomes. Clovis Router enables the care giver to receive the patient vitals as they occur without a delay in time with the need to connect to the cell phone for transmitting.
REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING
The ability to monitor certain aspects of a patient’s health from their own home has become an increasingly popular telehealth option. Remote patient monitoring lets providers manage acute and chronic conditions. And it cuts down on patients’ travel costs and infection risk.
CPT code 99457 covers the initial treatment management of the patient. This includes reimbursement for the first 20 minutes of time that clinical staff spends with a patient.
CPT code 99454 covers monthly remote monitoring of the patient. This includes the supply and use of the medical devices used to remotely monitor and collect patient-generated health data (PGHD). This specifically means data transmission, and does not include time spent educating and setting up the use of the device.
CPT code 99453 covers the time spent for the initial setup. That includes the onboarding of a patient for RPM services by clinical staff — in other words, the initial explanation of how the device works, and setting up a treatment schedule.
OUR DOCTORS SAY
Medicare already offers separate reimbursement for RPM. The service is defined as the “collection and
interpretation of physiologic data (e.g., ECG, blood pressure, glucose monitoring) digitally stored
and/or transmitted by the patient and/or caregiver to the physician or other qualified health care professional, qualified by education, training, licensure/regulation (when applicable) requiring a minimum of 20 minutes of time.”
