How to Improve Care and Revenue With a Remote Patient Monitoring Solution

Remote Patient Monitoring Is More Than Just a Tool

Many providers still rely heavily on traditional fee-for-service models, which tie revenue to face-to-face encounters. Yet this model doesn’t reflect the reality of chronic care, where most problems develop between visits, rather than during them. With a remote patient monitoring solution, providers can track vital signs, symptoms, and therapy adherence in real time, allowing for early interventions and better outcomes.

This not only helps reduce unnecessary ER visits and readmissions, but it also opens the door to monthly CPT code-based reimbursements for time spent reviewing patient data. CMS supports this model, and when it’s implemented correctly, RPM can become a reliable, scalable source of revenue for practices serving Medicare populations.

When Is the Right Time to Use RPM?

At HCRS, we work with practices that serve high-risk populations. Patients may qualify for a remote patient monitoring solution if they:

• Have multiple chronic conditions.
• Were recently discharged from a hospital or skilled nursing facility.
• Struggle with medication adherence.
• Are at high risk for complications or hospitalization.

These are precisely the moments when continuity of care is essential. RPM lets your team stay connected to each patient’s health journey, even when they’re not in an exam room.

How HCRS Supports Your Remote Patient Monitoring Solution

Implementing an in-house RPM program can be time-consuming and logistically complex, especially for smaller practices or those without dedicated care coordination. That’s why HCRS offers a fully managed RPM solution designed to fit your existing workflows.

Here’s what we provide.

• Connected Devices: We supply patients with easy-to-use devices that track health metrics like blood pressure, blood glucose, weight, oxygen saturation, and more.
• Clinical Oversight: Our licensed care coordinators monitor data and follow your established protocols.
• Escalation and Documentation: We contact your team when metrics indicate worsening health conditions.
• Billing and Reporting: We track every minute of billable time and deliver compliant, transparent billing reports on your behalf.

We make it easier to deliver better care while boosting practice efficiency and revenue. You’ll also have access to transparent, actionable data, thanks to our platform’s ability to integrate with over 80+ EHRs.

Combining RPM With Other Care Management Programs

A remote patient monitoring solution is even more effective when integrated with other CMS-supported programs, such as:

• Chronic Care Management (CCM), which adds structured monthly outreach and care plan support for patients with two or more chronic conditions.
• Principal Care Management (PCM), which is designed for patients with a single complex condition.
• Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM), which focuses on musculoskeletal and respiratory issues.
• Transitional Care Management (TCM), which supports patients after hospital discharge to prevent readmission.

When paired with these, RPM becomes part of a holistic care strategy, expanding opportunities for reimbursement while improving clinical outcomes. 

A Revenue Stream With Clinical Impact

Although there are providers who hesitate to adopt RPM, the truth is that a well-executed remote patient monitoring solution can be very beneficial for patient engagement and your bottom line. Practices that use RPM correctly can bill:

• CPT 99453 for onboarding and device setup.
• CPT 99454 for 16+ days of data transmission per month.
• CPT 99457 and 99458 for clinical time spent reviewing data and interacting with patients.

These codes can be billed monthly, offering predictable, recurring reimbursements that support both independent practices and value-based care organizations. 

All of this begs the question: Would you rather rely on traditional fee-for-service models that keep you chained to in-office visits, or receive recurring reimbursements month after month?

With HCRS managing the clinical monitoring, device logistics, and reporting, your staff can stay focused on patient care without the administrative overhead.

Remote Monitoring for Local Health Needs

Every community has unique healthcare challenges. That’s why we build localized RPM strategies that account for patient demographics, payer mix, and regional health disparities. We serve providers across the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Northeast U.S., including:

• Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs).
• Rural Health Clinics (RHCs)
• Specialty practices (cardiology, endocrinology, pulmonology).
• Home health and ACO-aligned clinics.

No matter your setting, our remote patient monitoring solution can scale to meet your needs.

Let’s Talk About Implementing RPM at Your Practice

We believe that better outcomes and stronger practice performance go hand in hand. Our remote patient monitoring solution is designed to deliver both, with expert support every step of the way.

Are your patients:

• Managing multiple chronic conditions? 
• Struggling with therapy adherence? 
• Recently discharged and at risk of readmission? 

If so, care continuity gives them the best chances of better health outcomes. RPM is a powerful tool that supports this by allowing healthcare teams to engage with patients in between office visits by tracking vitals, symptoms, and therapy progress in real time.
