What is Remote Therapeutic Monitoring?

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring reimburses practices for monitoring therapy adherence, therapy response, digital therapeutic intervention, and other non-physiologic treatment data for musculoskeletal and respiratory conditions.

Patients managing musculoskeletal or respiratory conditions where providers are monitoring therapy adherence and response between visits.

Around $54/month for treatment management (98980), plus payment for device setup and supply. See the full breakdown below.

Therapy Progress Is Hard To See Between Visits

For respiratory and musculoskeletal patients, practices need to know whether patients are following the care plan, whether symptoms are improving, and if recovery is drifting before the next visit.

ChronicCareIQ is care management software that keeps therapy response, patient follow-up, documentation, and reimbursement connected in one workflow, so RTM programs can scale alongside the rest of your care-management programs.

How ChronicCareIQ Simplifies RTM

Enroll Patients Into Therapeutic Monitoring

Set patients up to report adherence, symptoms, and therapeutic response for MSK and respiratory treatment plans between visits.

Track Adherence & Patient-Reported Response

Care teams can monitor RTM patients through ChronicCareIQ’s color-coded RiskIQ dashboard that quickly identifies patients drifting off plan or requiring follow-up.

Simplify RTM Documentation & Reimbursement

ChronicCareIQ captures qualifying care activity and organizes audit-defensible RTM documentation as your team follows up.

Leverages the EHR, phone systems, and connected devices your practice already uses.

FAQ

How is RTM different from RPM?

RTM tracks non-physiologic therapy data such as adherence, symptoms, pain, functional response, or respiratory therapy response. RPM tracks physiologic data such as blood pressure, weight, glucose, and pulse oximetry.

Which conditions are the best fit for RTM?

Respiratory and musculoskeletal conditions where the care team is monitoring therapy adherence, symptoms, and response between visits.

Does RTM require a medical device?

RTM generally involves a medical device or software/device workflow used to collect therapy-related data. Practices should confirm specific requirements by payer, use case, and billing guidance.

Can RTM be used with CCM, RPM, or PCM?

Many practices run RTM alongside other care-management programs, but billing depends on patient eligibility, payer rules, timing, documentation, and avoiding duplicate counting of the same activity.

Who monitors RTM responses?

ChronicCareIQ is designed to support in-house care teams by organizing patient-reported data, communication, documentation, and reimbursement workflows. If partner support is available, mention it as optional.
