    Remote Patient Monitoring

    Devices and services that capture patient data outside clinical settings.

    Reviewed by Christian Espinosa, Founder, Blue Goat CyberLast reviewed May 5, 2026

    Definition

    RPM uses connected devices - blood pressure cuffs, weight scales, pulse oximeters, glucometers, ECG patches - to transmit data to clinicians for chronic disease management. CMS reimburses RPM services through CPT 99453–99458 and RTM codes 98975–98981.

    What this means in practice

    Reimbursement is the primary commercial driver. Hospital-at-home and value-based care programs are increasing demand.
