Bronwyn Spira, CEO and founder of Force Therapeutics, talked to Managed Healthcare Executive about CMS' new CPT codes that were introduced in 2022. These codes focus on musculoskeletal and respiratory conditions and the data that collected from patients affected. According to Spira, these codes help more patients in underserved populations receive better access to care as barriers like cost and transportation are removed through remote care.
