?? November is diabetes awareness month and OptimizeHealth is excited about the promise RPM holds to improve care for the 38 million+ adults in the U.S. with diabetes. Diabetes costs over $412 billion in this country and is continuing to rise. We clearly need new and innovative ways to manage diabetes to not only curtail the cost curve, but also to improve the outcomes and quality of care. For the millions suffering from the more severe complications of diabetes, like heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, and neuropathy, daily life can be a struggle. Clinical studies have proven that RPM can improve outcomes. And OptimizeHealth has seen similar results with our clients and their patients. Learn more about how your practice can improve diabetes outcomes with less clinical resources and more reimbursement. Check out the full blog -> https://lnkd.in/etYgwRXG

It’s chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) awareness month and we want to reflect on the impact of this disease that impacts 11.7 million adults in the U.S.? Traditional treatment relies on patients self-reporting symptoms and frequent doctor visits, but this often fails to capture the early symptoms of an exacerbation. And that’s why COPD results in 335,000 COPD hospitalizations and 925,000 emergency department visits a year. But RPM has the potential to dramatically reduce those numbers. Clinical research has already demonstrated dramatic reductions in hospitalizations and emergency department visits. With the power to proactively monitor blood oxygen levels, monitoring clinicians can intervene when symptoms are still mild. At-home treatments such as oral steroids can mitigate the painful and expensive exacerbations that severely impact quality of life for COPD patients.

CMS’s finalized Advanced Primary Care Management (APCM) codes introduce a value-based approach for physician practices to manage primary care and chronic care patients more efficiently. These new APCM codes are set to simplify billing, reduce administrative burdens, and increase the number of patients eligible for reimbursement. The APCM codes replace time-based Chronic Care Management (CCM), Principal Care Management (PCM), and Transitional Care Management (TCM) codes, providing practices with more flexibility. Notably, Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) remain as separate billing opportunities, allowing practices to enhance patient care and expand RPM reimbursement alongside APCM.
