Article Overview

This article summarizes observations from a multi-jurisdiction Medicare contractor advisory committee meeting focused on non-implantable remote monitoring. It is aimed at practices considering RPM or RTM programs and describes how participating providers think about patient selection, clinical use cases, and program design across several specialties and care settings. The piece also references broader operational considerations, including use in Medicare and non-Medicare populations and links to meeting resources.
