October 2, 2023

Recently, a new bi-partisan bill, Expanding Remote Monitoring Access Act (ERMAA), was introduced by a collection of U.S. representatives including, Troy Balderson(R-OH), Katie Porter (D-CA), Neal Dunn, M.D., (R-FL), and Greg Murphy, M.D.,(R-NC).

During the COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) lowered the duration required to bill for remote monitoring services to only two days of data collection.

These services grant healthcare providers the ability to treat patients conveniently from their homes orremote locations. Advancing RPM technologies and flexibility unlock opportunities for early detection and ongoing condition management whileu pholding the highest standards of care.

The current fee-for-service (FFS) healthcare model has been the dominant payment system. In fiscal year2022, there were 1.1 million health care providers enrolled in the Medicare FFSprogram.

Through financial incentives and other methods, value-based care programs aim to hold providers more accountable for improving patient outcomes while also giving them greater flexibility to deliver the right care at the right time. CMS has expressed, in their strategic plan, thatall Medicare and a vast majority of Medicaid beneficiaries will be in a care relationship with accountability for quality and total cost of care by 2030.
