At VitalCare Sync, we understand the importance of streamlining patient enrollment for remote patient monitoring services. Our team can work with your EMR system to pull a list of potential patients who meet the criteria for remote monitoring based on their medical history and current condition.

Once this list is generated, our team can work with the physician to review and approve each patient’s enrollment in the program. Alternatively, if the physician already has a list of patients who they believe would benefit from remote monitoring, we can work with that list to ensure seamless enrollment into our program.

Our team will work closely with patients to determine their specific monitoring needs and provide them with the appropriate devices, such as blood pressure monitors, glucose meters, and pulse oximeters. We also provide detailed instructions and support to patients on how to properly use these devices in an accurate & secure manner.

By taking care of the device procurement and maintenance, we aim to make the remote patient monitoring process as easy and hassle-free as possible for both patients and healthcare providers. Our team is committed to providing the best possible care for our patients, and we believe that remote monitoring can play a crucial role in improving health outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.

At VitalCare Sync, we highly recommend that patients have access to a smartphone for our remote patient monitoring program. This is because our platform is designed to work seamlessly with smartphones, allowing patients to easily submit their health data and receive updates and feedback from their healthcare provider.

However, we understand that not all patients may have access to a smartphone or be comfortable using one. In these cases, we can provide patients with a tablet or other device that they can use to access our platform and submit their health data. Our team will provide detailed instructions on how to use the device and submit data securely.

At VitalCare Sync, we understand the importance of seamless integration with Electronic Health Records (EHR) to ensure accurate and efficient sharing of patient data. That’s why we have designed our remote patient monitoring platform to easily integrate with most EHR systems.

Our team works closely with healthcare providers to ensure that our platform is compatible with their specific EHR system. This allows for streamlined communication between our platform and the provider’s EHR, allowing for real-time tracking of patient data, easy access to patient records, and seamless communication between the provider and patient.

At VitalCare Sync, we work closely with insurance providers to ensure that our remote patient monitoring services are covered under their plans. We understand the importance of making healthcare affordable and accessible to all patients, and we strive to work with insurance providers to make our services as accessible as possible.

We accept most major insurance plans, including Medicare, as well as private insurance plans. We will work with patients to verify their insurance coverage and determine their out-of-pocket costs, if any.

Yes, Medicare does cover remote patient monitoring (RPM) services for eligible patients. Medicare recognizes the benefits of RPM in improving patient outcomes, reducing healthcare costs, and promoting patient engagement in their healthcare.

Yes, Medicare Advantage (MA) plans do cover remote patient monitoring (RPM) services for eligible patients. Medicare Advantage plans are private health insurance plans that are approved by Medicare and offer additional benefits beyond what is covered by Original Medicare, including RPM services.

The coverage of RPM services under MA plans may vary depending on the specific plan and provider. However, many MA plans cover RPM services, recognizing the benefits of this technology in improving patient outcomes and reducing healthcare costs.

At VitalCare Sync, we understand that the cost of medical devices and technology can be a barrier for many patients seeking remote patient monitoring (RPM) services. To ensure that our RPM services are accessible and affordable to all eligible patients, we offer a range of options for obtaining the necessary devices.

Our team will work with patients and their healthcare providers to determine which devices are necessary for their specific health conditions and ensure that they are provided with the appropriate devices. We offer a range of devices, including blood pressure cuffs, glucose meters, pulse oximeters, and weight scales, among others.

The cost of the devices will depend on the patient’s insurance coverage and eligibility for RPM services. For eligible patients, Medicare and other insurance providers typically cover the cost of RPM services, including the necessary devices. Our team will work closely with patients and their insurance providers to ensure that the cost of the devices is covered to the greatest extent possible.

The size of the devices can vary depending on the specific device and its purpose.

For example, blood pressure cuffs and glucose meters are typically small and portable, making them easy to use at home or while traveling. These devices can be easily stored in a purse, backpack, or travel bag, making them convenient for patients on-the-go.

Other devices, such as weight scales and pulse oximeters, may be slightly larger but are still designed to be portable and easy to use at home. These devices typically have a compact design and are lightweight, making them easy to store and transport.

We have a simple and streamlined process for onboarding patients to our remote patient monitoring (RPM) services.

First, we work with the patient’s healthcare provider to determine if RPM services are appropriate for the patient’s needs. If the provider determines that RPM is a good fit, we then work with the patient to gather any necessary information and to provide them with the devices they need for monitoring.

Once the patient has the necessary devices, our team provides detailed instructions on how to use them accurately. Patients can then begin using the devices to monitor their health and track their progress over time.

Throughout the onboarding process, our team is available to answer any questions patients may have and to provide support as needed. We believe that clear communication and personalized attention are key to ensuring a smooth and successful onboarding experience for all patients.

We have a convenient and efficient process for getting devices to patients who need them for remote patient monitoring (RPM) services.

Once a patient has been onboarded to our RPM services, our team works closely with them to determine which devices are necessary for their specific healthcare needs. We provide a variety of devices, including blood pressure monitors, glucose meters, pulse oximeters, and weight scales, among others.

In most cases, we are able to ship the devices directly to the patient’s home, either through standard mail or expedited shipping if needed. We also provide detailed instructions on how to use each device, as well as any necessary accessories or supplies.

For patients who may have difficulty using the devices on their own, we offer personalized support and training to help ensure that they are able to use the devices correctly and get the most out of their RPM services.

99495 is a CPT code that allows for the reimbursement of transitional care management services for patients requiring “medical decision making of at least moderate complexity.” Communication between the patient and practitioner must begin within 2 business days of discharge, and can include “direct contact, telephone [and] electronic” methods. One face-to-face visit is also required within 14 days of the patient’s discharge; this visit cannot be conducted virtually, and should not be reported separately.

Eligible billing practitioners for CPT Code 99495 include physicians or other “qualified health professionals” (QHPs) — often advanced practitioners like physician assistants (PAs) or nurse practitioners (NPs). QHPs can also include non-physician practitioners (NPPs), where authorized by state law; certified nurse-midwives (CNMs); or clinical nurse specialists (CNSs).

As of January 1, 2022, CPT 99495 offers a one-time reimbursement of $209.02.

Eligible billing practitioners for CPT Code 99496 include physicians or other eligible QHPs, such as PAs, NPs, CNMs, CNSs or NPPs
