In my work with healthcare organizations across the country, I see two distinct patient profiles coming into focus. They represent the past and future of remote care, and every successful practice must now build a bridge between them. The first is the patient for whom technology is a barrier; they need a solution that is simple, reliable, and works the moment it’s taken out of the box. For them, a cellular blood pressure cuff isn't just a device; it's a lifeline to their provider.
Change is inevitable in healthcare. Often, it feels overwhelming—but occasionally, a new shift arrives that genuinely makes things simpler. The upcoming CMS shift toward the MIPS Value Pathways (MVPs) represents precisely that kind of beneficial change.
Discover why Remote Patient Monitoring must go beyond data. Learn how adding patient context can improve care, billing, and trust in RPM programs.
APCM codes pay primary care providers for proactive, continuous care across all Medicare patients—not just in-office visits. Unlike CCM, they’re easier to bill and more inclusive. AI tools help practices meet APCM requirements by automating documentation, spotting care gaps, and supporting remote monitoring. The time to adopt is now.
Running an RPM program is a complex and time consuming process, and there’s a lot that can go wrong. From billing codes and reimbursements to choosing the right device if you don’t know what you’re doing, something WILL go wrong. H
The American Medical Association (AMA) is considering a significant overhaul and expansion of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Current Procedural Terminology (CPT™) codes.
Historically, our customers receive 97-98% of their expected reimbursements when they opt to use the MPN Billing Services.

A study done by Health Services Research noted that the average length of visit between a Primary Care Physician and their Medicare aged patient is 15.7 minutes. Statistically, that means a doctor will see less than 4 patients an hour. This does not include dictation of notes, delegating duties regarding prescriptions, and other duties.
For years, the goal of home healthcare and remote patient monitoring has been to keep patients out of the hospital for as long as possible. As RMP has grown, especially during the pandemic, people have asked, “Does RMP work with or replace home healthcare? The simple answer is, “it does both.”
What are CPT® Codes, and why does your medical practice need experts in them? The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) is a trademarked set of codes accepted by Medicare and Medicaid.
