5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Optometrists can incorporate remote monitoring by understanding CMS guidelines and appropriate coding for RPM and RTM.

• 2

  RPM measures objective physiological metrics using automated devices, while RTM gathers nonphysiological data that can be self-reported.

• 3

  Education on device use and data transmission is crucial for accurate health data collection in remote monitoring.

• 4

  Optometrists must review health data from remote monitoring to manage patient conditions effectively and avoid audit issues.

• 5

  Remote monitoring enhances patient management and convenience, allowing optometrists to adjust treatments based on transmitted data.
