Use of Remote Patient Monitoring Services in Medicare

The use of remote patient monitoring services in Medicare has the potential to exponentially expand. However, there is currently limited research on the use of remote patient monitoring services, such as the types of patients and providers who use these services, and the health conditions that are monitored through these services, among other details. This review will be based on Medicare fee-for-service claims and Medicare Advantage encounter data for remote patient monitoring services. It will look at the extent to which the use of remote patient monitoring services has changed, the nature of remote patient monitoring services being used by Medicare enrollees, and the characteristics of enrollees using remote patient monitoring services. This review will also determine the extent to which provider billing for remote patient monitoring services may indicate fraud, waste, or abuse.
