What is Remote Patient Monitoring?
Remote Patient Monitoring, or Remote Physiologic Monitoring, is a tool that monitors patients with chronic conditions through the use of remote medical devices such as Blood Pressure Cuffs, Glucose Meters, and Weight Scales to collect patient data and provide that to a remote medical professional on a daily basis.
Why use Remote Patient Monitoring?
Studies show the use of remote patient monitoring achieves a 75 percent reduction in hospital readmissions. Remote Patient Monitoring catches problems before the patient ends up in the emergency room. Patients are grateful to know someone is monitoring their health on a daily basis.
How does Remote Patient Monitoring work?
This Remote Patient Monitoring program delivers cellular-connected medical devices (like Blood Pressure Cuffs, Weight Scales, and Blood Glucose Meters) to your patients so they can take their measurements daily.
These devices are easy to use and are no different from what the patients are used to using on a regular basis. The readings automatically sync up to our online secure HIPAA compliant database.
What is my out of pocket cost for Remote Patient Monitoring?
Remote Patient Monitoring is a covered benefit by your Medicare plan.
