Easier Access to Remote Health Monitoring via Medicare
This act aims to simplify access to remote health monitoring for patients covered by Medicare. It changes the data collection requirement from 16 days to just 2 days within a month, allowing more people to benefit from this type of care, improving their health, and potentially reducing treatment costs.
Key points
Shortening the required data collection period for remote monitoring from 16 days to 2 days within a 30-day period for all Medicare patients.
Enabling broader use of remote monitoring for various conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea.
Potential reduction in healthcare costs through earlier interventions and fewer hospitalizations.
Requirement for a report to Congress on experiences with the new rules and recommendations for future reimbursement models.
