Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) for Managing Sleep Disorders

RPM can help with insomnia, sleep apnea, and restless leg syndrome by keeping track of things like sleep patterns, oxygen levels, heart rate, and how deep you sleep.

RPM platforms use wearable sensors or cellular medical devices to gather information about how long and how well you sleep (light vs. deep sleep), your heart rate variability, and your blood oxygen levels. Providers look at this data to find anything that seems off.

• Early detection of abnormal sleep patterns
• Personalized treatment plans
• Improved patient engagement in their care
• Fewer in-person visits and better continuous monitoring

HealthArc has wearable or cellular devices that are easy to use, keep an eye on you all the time, and send data in a way that is HIPAA-compliant. Providers can use real-world sleep data to make treatment plans more specific, find problems earlier, and change care from a distance.

Yes. HealthArc protects and keeps private patient data, like sleep metrics, by using systems that follow HIPAA rules, SOC-2 security, and secure communication channels.

For sleep problems, keeping an eye on things often (like every night or every few weeks) can help you see patterns. Providers can then change the care if they see that sleep quality or respiratory data keeps getting worse.

Yes. Providers can see trends, change treatments (like using CPAP or improving sleep hygiene), and respond when metrics get worse if they track them regularly. Patients often say that over time they sleep better, wake up less often, and are more productive during the day.

PCM (Principal Care Management): For people with one serious chronic condition that puts them at high risk. CCM, or Chronic Care Management, is for people who have two or more long-term health problems. If the patient doesn’t meet the requirements for CCM, PCM is billed.

HealthArc and other RPM platforms follow HIPAA and SOC-2 rules. Only authorized providers can see and share the data, which is encrypted and sent securely. Before their data is used, patients must agree to it.

Not always. There are technical and operational problems (like setting up devices, training, and integrating workflows), but many platforms (like HealthArc) are made to make implementation easier by using plug-and-play devices, dashboards, and support for providers.

No. RPM adds to human care by automating routine monitoring and alerts, but human doctors and nurses are still needed to make sense of the data, make decisions, and supply personalized care.

• Sleep metrics (duration, depth, interruptions)
• Blood oxygen levels (SpO₂)
• Heart rate & heart rate variability
• Weight, glucose (if applicable)
• Activity levels & other vitals

Yes. HealthArc works with a lot of EHRs through standard interoperability protocols like HL7 and FHIR. This makes sure that data flows smoothly into clinicians’ work.

Yes. To protect patient data, the platform is HIPAA-compliant, SOC-2 certified, uses encrypted channels to send information, and limits access based on roles.

RPM is covered by Medicare, many state Medicaid programs, and an increasing number of private insurers. Reimbursement depends on using valid CPT codes and meeting documentation and service requirements.

Yes. As long as the time spent on each service is recorded separately and the criteria for both services are met, providers can bill for both RPM and CCM at the same time.

Under supervision, clinical staff (nurses, care coordinators) often handle daily monitoring and alerts. According to payer rules, only qualified providers (like doctors, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants) can bill.
