The Remote Monitoring Reckoning: What CMS Proposed Rule Means for Providers and Vendors
CMS has released a proposed rule for calendar year 2027 that would modify Medicare reimbursement for remote patient monitoring services, which began in 2019. The rule affects payment for devices that measure patient health data at home and for care teams who monitor and respond to that data between office visits. The proposed changes would impact providers and device vendors who currently bill Medicare for these services. Comments on the proposed rule are due by the standard 60-day comment period.
Medicare RPM billing rules often serve as templates for Medicaid state plan amendments and MCO telehealth coverage policies, making these proposed changes relevant for state agencies considering similar services.
