What Remote Patient Monitoring
Can Help With
Five areas where staying connected to your care team between visits changes what your clinicians can see, and how early they can act.
It is the time between visits that matters
A blood pressure reading at one appointment is a snapshot. A trend is a picture.
Medicare started covering remote patient monitoring in 2018
Coverage varies by plan, and we will tell you what to ask yours.

It works alongside your own doctor, and there are things it cannot do.
Remote Patient Monitoring
Ongoing tracking of chronic conditions (like diabetes or hypertension), post-operative recovery, and vital signs between scheduled visits. Connected devices give your care team a fuller picture of how a condition is trending over time, so changes get noticed earlier.
Care Team Communication
Staying connected to a care team between visits means a question or a concern does not have to wait for the next scheduled appointment. Care team communication covers the ways patients and clinicians stay in touch, including secure messaging, check-ins, and virtual consultations.
Medication Adherence & Wellness
Taking medicine exactly as prescribed can be hard to keep up with, especially when managing more than one prescription. We provide medication tracking and general wellness support to help patients and their care teams stay aware of whether medicine is being taken as directed.

Call to askRemote Patient Monitoring FAQs
What conditions does remote patient monitoring support?
Remote patient monitoring can support chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart or lung disease, along with recovery after surgery. It also covers medication adherence, vital signs monitoring, and staying in touch with your care team between visits.
Does Medicare cover these services?
Medicare started covering remote patient monitoring in 2018, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Coverage varies by plan, so call us at 855-574-4200 and we can help you understand what questions to ask your plan.
Is remote patient monitoring the same as a video visit?
No. A video visit is a single appointment with a clinician online. Remote patient monitoring is different. It is an ongoing category of care where health information reaches your care team between visits, not only during one call.
Will remote monitoring replace visits with my own doctor?
No. Remote patient monitoring is meant to work alongside the care you already receive, not replace it. Keep seeing your own doctor for regular visits, and always seek emergency care for symptoms that concern you.
