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.
"Remote therapeutic monitoring codes enable (patients) to still participate in health information that they need to improve their care," Spira said. "It enables them to be in communication with their care team, without having to be there physically. It really helps open up their ability to get care from true providers, regardless of their access barriers."
