Topic: Cellular Blood Pressure Monitoring System (Free To Medicare Patients!)
“Our new Cellular Blood Pressure Monitor System connects automatically to cell towers and transmits your patient’s information directly to your practice. This device makes it simple for seniors who tend to be more technology challenged to utilize Medicare’s RPM program without the difficulty of connecting to cell phones or the internet. No passwords, no Bluetooth, no internet connections required.
The rapid advance of medical device design plus an enormous upgrade in telecommunications makes Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) suddenly possible for virtually everyone. Anywhere. In November 2018 CMS officially approved three new billing codes for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM). The telehealth industry experts agree that this is the biggest financial incentive to date in the history of digital medicine.”
