Abstract

Two final rules issued by The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in November 2017 gave physicians and other healthcare providers ringing in the New Year another reason to celebrate. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has opened entirely new avenues for reimbursement of Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) services in 2018, creating the potential for better patient outcomes and a boost to a healthcare providers’ bottom lines.
