Medication non-compliance is significant contributor to adverse outcomes amongst medical patients.  Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) aims to combat this through use of digitally connected pill boxes, enabling medical practices to track medication compliance amongst their patients.

RTM is also a powerful tool used by Medical Assistants engaging patients in Chronic Care Management (CCM) as part of your overall remote patient monitoring program, recognizing the importance of medication compliance in optimizing management of chronic medical conditions. 

CMS will pay for RTM services using CPT codes 98978, 98980, 98981.  These can be billed concurrently with CPT codes for CCM or RPM, however, CMS will not pay for RTM, CCM and RPM at the same time.  It will therefore be up to your remote monitoring vendor to determine which combination of services (e.g. RTM+CCM vs. RTM+RPM vs. RPM+CCM) best suit your patients’ needs.  

In summary RTM is a powerful tool to help improve medication compliance and generate additional practice revenue for your practice, while  empowering clinicians to move from assumption-based treatment to data-driven care.
