Remote Patient Monitoring is here.
And evidence supporting its validity as a tangible solution to some of healthcare’s greatest problems is growing by the day. A system whereby patients are empowered to monitor their own health, and physicians review data without an office visit results in welcome benefits to doctor, patient and a healthcare system at its breaking point.
And now, it’s not a waste of your time.
Modern Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) systems make it possible to turn new work flows into measurable reimbursement streams. And this trend continues as payers, practitioners and patients see the numerous benefits of remotely collecting physiological metrics.
Since 2015, providers have been reimbursed more than $100 million for non face-to-face care of Medicare beneficiaries.
Everyone benefits.
