Abstract

Remote patient monitoring (RPM), the collection by patients of physiological measurements that are automatically sent to their health care practitioners, has been touted as a promising tool for improving chronic disease management. Interest in RPM has grown because of technological advancements, pandemic-related increases in virtual care, and expanded reimbursement. In 2019, Medicare expanded RPM coverage through new billing codes facilitating monthly payment for monitoring physiological data of any kind (termed general RPM). However, given a lack of robust evidence on the clinical benefits of RPM and which patients benefit from RPM, some have raised concerns about potential overuse. This cross-sectional study quantified trends in general RPM use in traditional Medicare.
