CMS Proposes Major Changes to Remote Monitoring Payment in 2027 Fee Schedule
CMS released the calendar year 2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule on July 14, 2026, proposing significant changes to payment and coverage requirements for remote physiologic monitoring (RPM) and remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) services. The changes respond to Office of Inspector General scrutiny of these services. The proposed rule affects how Medicare pays for remote monitoring services used in chronic disease management and post-discharge care. Comments on the proposed rule are typically due 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.
Medicaid MCOs often align telehealth and remote monitoring policies with Medicare coverage rules, so changes to RPM and RTM payment requirements may trigger state Medicaid policy updates affecting MCO contracts and reimbursement.
