CMS just released the new fee schedule on the new RTM Codes and it could lead to thousands of additional dollars in reimbursement for PT and OT clinics without them having to do anything more than monitoring home exercise program compliance through a simple smart app.
Today I will explain the RTM codes and show you how you can get started right away with a tracking tool that you may already be using in your clinic.

Please clarify your statement regarding the billing of the device code 98977 so folks are not incorrectly billing this code. That code can only be billed if the patient has 16 days of data ...not monitoring. If the patient only produces 14 days of data in a 30-day period, you CAN NOT bill this code even if they have the device for 30 days. Just because a patient has access to the software as a medical device for 16 days, you CAN NOT bill 98977.
It is also important to note that you CAN NOT bill 98980 unless you perform at least 1 interactive communication with the patient or caregiver within the month. ie. phone calls or video visits excluding in-person clinic time.
(RPM) is Remote Physiological Monitoring, objective data collected; RTM is mostly subjective data.. great content, thank you I learned a lot.
Does this reimbursement come out of the Medicare beneficiaries $2150 threshold?
Great presentation! Very informative and helpful! I have one more question. If my patient is a stroke patient, can I bill any of RTM codes too?
Amazing u are👍
Do you think private insurance carriers will pick these codes up? If so, when do you believe they will announce so/would the process for reimbursement be different with them as compared to CMS?
I am not finding content within Medbridge relative to the webinar you mentioned. Do you have any information available to locate that webinar information?
Hello! Can you use the emr has a tracking HEP? WebPT has HEP and can send to patient. Could you use this vs medbridge?
When you say active monitoring for 16/30 days, does that mean that I am checking the app (MedBridge let's say) to see that they have performed their exercise? So if I check every day from Monday - Friday does that count at 5/30 days? If I check on Mon, Wed, Fri after set up, does that count as 3/30 days? Also, if I'm on a single person plan on MedBridge, it only tells me the times they logged in. I'm guessing this is not enough?
Just a clarification - when using SaMD - you won't be able to claim 98976/77 - only if using DME
Hey Tim - I’m curious if in order to bill a CTM if it has to be an established system like medbridge. Could the monitoring be done in a different way, such a shared google doc excel spread sheet? I understand it needs to be justified and measured regardless. Thank you for your helpful content!
Good question! The biggest concern I would have is an audit. If you are able to substantiate that your records are time stamped, unaltered, and secure, G docs may fall in the software as a medical device category. I would check with a lawyer before I banked on a Google spreadsheet as a HEP compliance tool. It’s not worth the risk in my opinion. The small cost of using a dedicated and well tested program through a platform like MedBridge is not only worth it, but it pays itself off after 2-3 patients. Thanks for watching and for your question!
@@PTProgress Thank you for the response and insight!
@@annaweymann5811 good question! I am also curious what the threshold to meet Medicare standards is? Does this make medbridge an FDA approved device?
