On November 2, 2023, CMS released its 2024 Final Physician Fee Schedule on policies related to remote care management. At the time of the release, Medsien provided a full summary of 2024 updates and changes that would impact Medsien clients and programs related to remote care management. Here we offer a bit more information to highlight specific, important changes for Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Rural Health Clinics (RHCs).

Medsien offers software and solutions for a suite of services – including CCM, PCM, RPM, RTM, TCM and AWVs. Accurate coding is essential for proper reimbursement.

New year, time for a new approach It’s time to plan for 2024. Are you ready to introduce seamless, scalable remote care management and monitoring into your practice?

CMS continues to advance the ability of RPM and RTM services to drive revenue and improve the patient care experience. The 2024 Final Rule addresses billing scenarios and requests for clarifications on the appropriate use of these remote monitoring codes, and clarifies CMS’ position on how it interprets certain requirements for these services.

We could not reach her primary care team for days, and could not get anyone to make referrals, advocate or communicate with her doctor.

Remote care allows providers to have a more holistic understanding of patients - without any additional work - even when not seeing them at the office.
