In this segment, Jeff Langmaid explains how Medicare introduced a series of CPT codes (98975‑98981) that allow healthcare providers to bill for remote patient management (RTM) services performed outside the clinic. He outlines the core requirement—monthly patient check‑ins via phone or video—and notes that the base reimbursement starts at roughly $50 per patient per month, scaling up to about $150 per month for more intensive remote therapeutic monitoring (RTO). The explanation highlights the revenue opportunity for practices that adopt systematic RTM workflows.

To give you a little bit more context of where the revenue comes in is this. So Medicare created these CPT codes. There's CPT codes from 98975 all the way to 98981. And these codes are billable codes, billable codes based on just managing your patients outside of a clinic, educating your patients on RTM inside your clinic. It's also just being able to engage with them throughout the month of checking in on them. And these check-ins, you have to do a call or also you have to do like a video call. But these new codes, from a bare minimum of just getting them to have this management, monthly management, is minimum of $50 a month that you can get based on just the regular codes. And it can go all the way up to $150 per month per patient if you're managing them on RTO.
