What is Remote Patient Monitoring?

What is Remote Patient Monitoring?

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a reimbursable healthcare delivery model in which a provider collects, transmits, and reviews physiologic data from a patient outside of a clinical setting — typically at home — using FDA-cleared connected devices. Data collected may include blood pressure, blood glucose, weight, oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiratory flow, or temperature. The provider or their designated clinical staff reviews this data, acts on alerts, and bills under CMS RPM CPT codes.

RPM is distinct from telehealth. It runs continuously between visits and generates billable time based on device data transmission and clinical staff time spent reviewing readings and communicating with patients. Under CMS rules, RPM applies to patients with one or more acute or chronic conditions and can be billed alongside CCM, PCM, and other care management programs. RPM does require an established patient-provider relationship. For existing patients, monitoring can begin without a new E&M visit. For new patients, the provider must first conduct an initiating E&M visit to establish that relationship before RPM services can be furnished and billed.

HealthArc’s RPM program combines a cloud-based monitoring platform, pre-configured cellular devices shipped directly to patients, and optional clinical staffing support — so practices can launch a fully operational RPM program without building infrastructure from scratch.

Key Facts

RPM is covered by Medicare, most Medicare Advantage plans, and a growing number of commercial payers.

CMS reimbursement for a single RPM patient can exceed $150/month when all applicable codes are billed.

Minimum requirement: 16 days of device data per 30-day period for CPT 99454.

Any provider with billing privileges can bill RPM; no specialty restriction applies.

Under CMS's 2026 guidelines, practices can bill RPM with as few as 2 days of device data in a 30-day period, not just the standard 16-day minimum.

Who Uses HealthArc's RPM Platform

HealthArc is built for provider organizations that need a scalable, compliant RPM program without hiring a dedicated internal operations team. The platform serves:

Practise Type

By Practice Type

  • Independent physician practices (primary care, internal medicine, cardiology, endocrinology)
  • Multi-specialty group practices and ACOs
  • Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)
  • Health systems and hospital-affiliated outpatient practices
  • Concierge and direct primary care practices adding a remote monitoring layer

By Clinical Role

  • Physicians and APPs who order and supervise RPM
  • Clinical staff (MA, LPN, RN, care coordinator) who review data and log time
  • Practice administrators responsible for billing and compliance
  • Revenue cycle teams tracking CPT code reimbursement
  • Care coordinators and other qualified clinical personnel
Clinical Role
Patient Population

By Patient Population

  • Patients with hypertension, heart failure, COPD, diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2), obesity, or chronic kidney disease
  • Post-discharge patients requiring transitional monitoring
  • High-risk patients between quarterly or annual visits
  • Any Medicare or qualifying commercial insurance beneficiary with one or more chronic conditions
  • Patients with hypertension, heart failure, COPD, diabetes (Type 1 and Type 2), obesity, chronic kidney disease, and other acute or chronic conditions

HealthArc supports both self-managed RPM (practice owns the program, uses the platform) and fully managed RPM (HealthArc’s clinical team handles monitoring, escalation, and documentation). Practices choose the model that matches their staffing capacity.

RPM Services

What HealthArc's Clinical Team Does

For practices that do not have the clinical staffing to run RPM internally, HealthArc offers a fully managed service model. This is not a software resale arrangement — HealthArc provides trained clinical staff who operate the monitoring program on behalf of the practice, under the supervising provider's direction.

What is included in HealthArc's managed RPM service

The supervising physician or APP retains clinical oversight and final medical decision-making authority. HealthArc's team operates as an extension of the practice, not as an independent clinical entity.

Practices can also operate a hybrid model — using the platform independently for lower-acuity patients while HealthArc's team manages higher-risk or higher-volume segments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our cardiology remote care solutions.

What is remote patient monitoring software?

Remote patient monitoring software is a clinical platform that collects physiologic data from patients via connected devices outside of a clinical setting, transmits that data to a care team, and supports the workflows needed to review, act on, document, and bill for that monitoring. Core functions include device management, data ingestion and alerting, care team dashboards, patient communication tools, and CPT code tracking for CMS billing. HealthArc's RPM software is a cloud-based, HIPAA-compliant platform that handles all of these functions and integrates with major EHR systems.

What is the difference between an RPM platform and a fully managed RPM service?

An RPM platform is software that a practice's own clinical staff uses to monitor patients, document interactions, and generate billing reports. A fully managed RPM service means an external clinical team — such as HealthArc's monitoring staff — operates the program on behalf of the practice under the supervising provider's direction. Practices that lack clinical staffing capacity typically start with a managed service model. Practices with existing care coordination staff use the platform independently. HealthArc supports both models and a hybrid of the two.

Which CPT codes are used to bill remote patient monitoring, and what are the requirements?

CMS reimburses RPM under CPT codes 99453 (initial setup, billed once), 99454 (device supply and 16+ days of data per month), 99457 (first 20 minutes of monitoring staff time per month, requires interactive patient contact), and 99458 (additional 20-minute increments). CPT 99091 covers 30 minutes of physician review time and is not stackable with 99457. HealthArc's platform tracks device transmission days and staff time automatically, generating monthly billing-ready reports for all applicable codes.

What patients qualify for remote patient monitoring under Medicare?

Under CMS rules, any Medicare beneficiary with one or more chronic conditions qualifies for RPM if their provider determines it is medically necessary. There is no minimum number of chronic conditions required, and no specific specialty restriction applies. The provider must order the monitoring, and the patient must have an FDA-cleared device transmitting data. Most Medicare Advantage plans also cover RPM, as do a growing number of commercial payers, though coverage terms vary by plan.

Can RPM be billed alongside CCM or other care management programs?

Yes. CMS allows RPM (CPT 99457/99458) to be billed in the same month as Chronic Care Management (CCM, CPT 99490 and 99491) and Principal Care Management (PCM), provided the time and activities billed under each code are separate and documented distinctly. Combining RPM and CCM for high-risk patients with multiple chronic conditions is a common strategy for maximizing reimbursement per patient. HealthArc's platform tracks time separately across programs to support compliant concurrent billing.

How long does it take to implement an RPM program with HealthArc?

Most practices reach their first billed RPM patient within 30 days of signing with HealthArc. The implementation sequence covers platform configuration, EHR integration, patient identification and consent, device fulfillment, and staff training. HealthArc's implementation team manages the process end-to-end — the practice is not required to dedicate IT resources or build internal workflows before going live.

What devices does HealthArc provide for remote patient monitoring?

HealthArc supplies FDA-cleared cellular connected devices across all major monitoring categories: blood pressure monitors, weight scales, glucometers, continuous glucose monitors (CGM), pulse oximeters, spirometers, thermometers, and medication adherence devices. All devices transmit data automatically over cellular networks — patients do not need a smartphone, a separate app, or Wi-Fi. Devices are shipped directly to patients and are pre-configured for the monitoring program before shipment.
