Changes in Remote Patient Monitoring: What you Need to Know for 2026
Virtual care is experiencing a surge in healthcare, which started during the Public Health Emergency. There is so much buzz about the Remote Therapeutic Management CPT codes. But how do they differ from the Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) codes? With significant growth in the virtual patient sector, it is essential to explore technological advancements for practitioners seeking to build or expand their own remote patient monitoring programs and enhance patient care for the patients they serve. Many practices are confused as to what the difference is between RPM and RTM? Both methods enable the secure measurement and transmission of vital data to the practitioner, allowing them to manage the patient’s health in coordination with their care plan. This session will include an understanding of the difference between RPM and RTM. Technology requirements, as well as the required transmitted information, will be covered along with acceptable communication methods with the patient. This session will also cover the appropriate CPT codes along with CMS reimbursement for these services including new codes in 2026.
