Benefits Of Remote Patient Monitoring Cms

• Helps patients improve self-management and care plan adherence: Remote patient monitoring benefits patients by giving them readily available, condition-specific, and simple-to-use tools to manage their condition. This is true for a variety of patient populations, including those experiencing one or more chronic comorbidities, COVID-19 infection, post-surgical recovery, maternal and child needs, malignant neoplasms, and more.

•  Reduces patient expenses and improves work productivity: The patient is able to avoid the associated costs of an in-person visit when they receive care via RPM. Patients avoid the inconveniences and expenses of travel, parking, childcare, and/or taking time off work. 

• Cost of Care reduction for payers and providers:  Remote patient monitoring has demonstrated a significant impact in reducing potentially avoidable ED utilization as well as a reduction in unnecessary hospital admissions and readmission. It enables ED diversion and earlier acute discharge, resulting in shorter lengths of stay and lower cost of care. RPM enables the movement of appropriate levels of acute care and chronic care monitoring into the home, reducing the high costs of inpatient services.
