    The remote patient monitoring software program used by CareSimple is very user friendly. It's a wonderful option to keep patients compliant with their health so they can live a more fulfilling and independent life at home. I love the patient data we accumulate with this healthcare delivery system.

    Since I have been a nurse I have seen a lot of patients’ health decline or be at a standstill because they couldn’t or didn’t want to travel to the doctor’s office. They couldn’t get an appointment in a timely manner. Some simply said they would wait until they had to go and by then it was a trip to the hospital that could have been avoided. CareSimple is a blessing (and it is so simple for patients to use) to those patients who have these concerns. Being able to provide care by remote patient monitoring to help manage medical problems is a plus, especially for our elderly population. It’s the perfect solution for patients presently high risk due to their chronic disease. We can easily measure the blood sugar, blood pressure and other vitals of the patient.

    As a nurse that has worked with patients with chronic health issues, remote patient monitoring is a game changer. The pandemic has shown us all how important this should be to all in healthcare. I’ve had a chance to use CareSimple in Marie (Pepper)’s course and it is user friendly.

  • I’m so excited to see CareSimple expanding and providing their services to so many. I live in a rural area with harsh winters and I know how difficult it is for people to get in to see health care providers on a regular basis. This will help in so many ways and will enable people to take responsibility for their own health care with the guidance and assistance of trained healthcare professionals who are available to them in their homes. With our aging population, this is truly a game changer that is so needed

RPM Billing Guide for 2024

We’re well into the new year, and the final 2023 physician fee schedule from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is officially in effect, with some key changes to remote patient monitoring reimbursement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Remote Patient Monitoring Companies and Telehealth

What is CareSimple?

CareSimple is a leading virtual care company  that provides all equipment, software and services needed for payers and providers to offer remote hospital at home (HaH), population health, chronic care management (CCM) and remote patient monitoring (RPM) services. As a turnkey and quality-focused solution, we enable our customers to take complexity out of remote patient monitoring and focus on driving new revenues, reducing ER visits, increasing patient satisfaction and improving outcomes.

What is Remote Patient Monitoring?

RPM is a technology offering that enables the monitoring and collection of patients’ physiologic measures outside of a traditional healthcare environment, such as at a patient’s home or office. Finding a vendor that is able to serve as both a mentor and partner, such as CareSimple, should be one of the key steps of implementing a successful RPM program.

Finding a telemedicine solution that is able to serve as both a mentor and partner, such as CareSimple, should be one of the key steps of implementing a successful RPM program.

How is CareSimple Different from Other Remote Patient Monitoring Companies?

As can be seen in this video from a KLAS Spotlight Report made in the fall of 2021, 100% of interviewed customers would buy back from CareSimple. CareSimple’s solution for hospital at home (HoH), population health, chronic care management, remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) and remote patient monitoring (RPM) offers a unique combination of simplicity for patients, nearly plug and play EHR integration capabilities, demonstrated results, medical-grade ISO-certified quality and security, more than a decade of experience, acclaimed customer service and distribution through your preferred group purchasing organization (GPO). These attributes are among the reasons why CareSimple is the leading virtual care technology solution for both providers and payers.

What is Chronic Care Management?

CCM is a coaching service provided by health care professionals to guide patients with chronic conditions in order to better understand their health and the necessary actions they can take to improve their quality of life. Having a solution that fits seamlessly within your electronic health record (EHR) can optimize the efficiency of your CCM program.

Can RPM and CCM Be Combined?

Absolutely! RPM, which was initially used by healthcare professionals to monitor patients following post-acute events, has emerged as a great complement to CCM for patients with chronic conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, diabetes, COPD and asthma. The CareSimple solution supports both programs, which are reimbursed by Medicare and can be managed by the same personnel, creating more streamlined operational synergies and a better, more engaging experience for patients to improve outcomes.

Is Running a Remote Patient Monitoring System Complex?

A Remote Patient Monitoring System requires commitment and planning but can be quite simple to implement and operate with the right team and tools. CareSimple was launched with the goal of making remote patient monitoring simple enough for anyone regardless of age, condition or socioeconomic status. This is accomplished by removing many of the technical challenges commonly found with alternative remote care models and provisioning technology. Offering seamless patient-to-cloud data transmission, smart alerts, effective engagement, and automatic documentation capabilities, and through integration with the EHR, patient vital signs are collected and then received in near real time from the cellular-enabled devices. This approach empowers providers with a holistic view of their patients’ health to help improve patient care.

How Do Remote Patient Monitoring Devices Work?

Some of the typical patient monitoring devices are blood pressure cuffs, body scales, heart rate and pulse oximetry monitors, blood glucose monitors, spirometers, and thermometers. While they may look like any other medical device, it’s their unique, underlying connectivity that enables reading data to be transmitted to healthcare professionals. While other vendors require that the devices be paired with a hub, smartphone or tablet to transmit data, this can create complexity for the providers setting up the devices, and for the patients using them on a daily basis. CareSimple cellular-enabled devices have built-in SIM cards that automatically transmit patient readings, meaning that no pairing, app or WiFi is needed for patient monitoring. This provides a senior-friendly user experience and reduces the amount of technical support problems that need to be managed.

Who Can Administer RPM?

While only physicians and non-physician practitioners (NPPs) are eligible to bill for RPM, the reimbursement rules are under general supervision, which means that services can be provided by a broader number of clinical staff. Typical RPM teams consist of medical assistants (MAs), licensed nurse practitioners (LPNs), registered nurses (RNs) and a medical supervisor (MD). When staff vacancies are an issue, CareSimple is well positioned to help any patient, payer and healthcare provider fill these clinical resource gaps with highly trained health professionals.

What is the Return on Investment (ROI) of Remote Patient Monitoring?

RPM has been shown to reduce acute care use for patients with certain chronic conditions (Systematic Review), while driving important cost reductions for employers, payers and providers engaged in risk-sharing contracts. Fee-for-service health providers can also financially benefit from RPM, with Medicare reimbursing its use for post-acute and chronic patients with CPT codes 99091, 99453, 99454, 99457 and 99458. CareSimple provides monthly instructions for how to claim these codes, along with CPT codes 99490 and 99491 for CCM.

What Are the Patient Benefits of RPM?

RPM empowers patients to take charge of their health through telemedicine, allowing them to manage their chronic condition from an environment where they are most comfortable. The CareSimple program wirelessly sends the information from a compatible medical device directly to their health file for remote review and monitoring by their provider. With the data gained through telemedicine, their care team can check on the patient’s health status and quickly make decisions on how to provide the best care moving forward, whether it be a change in a treatment plan or a medication adjustment. 

RPM’s regular monitoring of chronic health conditions helps with keeping a patient’s measurements within range, which can prevent or delay emergency room visits and ultimately reduce costly hospital readmissions.
