Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM)

What is Remote Therapeutic Monitoring?

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) manages patients using devices that collect non-physiological data also called as therapeutic data. As per CMS guidelines, therapeutic data include pain levels, medication adherence, and therapy adherence as recorded or reported by the patient via a medical device. Both respiratory and musculoskeletal system status can be monitored through RTM.

Billing opportunity for Therapists

RTM is a very good billing opportunity for Qualified Healthcare Professionals (QHCP) such as physical therapists, occupational therapists, clinical psychologists and registered dieticians.
