Remote Monitoring Adoption Linked to Higher Medicare Revenue and Outpatient Visits, Study Finds

A new study published in Health Affairs found that primary care practices using Remote Physiologic Monitoring (RPM) experienced a 20% increase in Medicare revenue, along with a rise in outpatient visits. These findings reinforce RPM’s value in chronic care management and its potential to improve patient outcomes through more consistent engagement.

As RPM adoption accelerates, providers and RPM companies face increasing regulatory scrutiny, particularly around billing practices, documentation standards, and fraud and abuse risks. Legal counsel can support stakeholders in developing compliant RPM strategies, structuring contractual relationships, and ensuring operational alignment with Medicare requirements.
