HR 2291 would include applicable remote patient monitoring (RPM) services under the de�nition of “medical and other health services” and allow (but not require) payment for applicable RPM services for up to 90 days, at which point it could be renewed by the physician who provides chronic care management to the individual if the individual continues to qualify.

REMOTE PATIENT MONITORING SERVICES FOR CHRONIC CONDITIONS

DEFINITIONS

Applicable remote patient monitoring service - Remote patient monitoring services (de�ned below) furnished to provide for the monitoring, evaluation, and management of an individual with a covered chronic condition (de�ned below), insofar as such services are for the management of such chronic condition.

Remote patient monitoring services - Services furnished through remote patient monitoring technology.

IMPACT & ANALYSIS

May 2017

Covered chronic health condition - Applicable condition when under chronic care management, de�ned in and applied under 1886(a)(5) (includes conditions selected by the Secretary under speci�c criteria for purposes of the Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program which includes congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).

Remote patient monitoring technology - A coordinated system that uses one or more home-based or mobile monitoring devices that automatically transmit vital sign data or information on activities of daily living and may include responses to assessment questions collected on the devices wirelessly or through a telecommunications connection to a server that complies with the Federal regulations (concerning the privacy of individually identi�able health information) promulgated under section 264(c) of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as part of an established plan of care for that patient that includes the review and interpretation of that data by a health care professional.

HR 2291 would expand reimbursement for telehealth in several ways, allowing for more expansive reimbursement for store and forward, and opening up reimbursement for additional distant site providers, originating sites, and services. HR 2291 maintains Medicare’s geographic restriction (except for critical access hospitals and sole community hospitals), and the option for sites to qualify as a rural HPSA or federal demonstration project, however adds that if a site quali�es as a non-MSA it must also be located in a county that does not have a population of greater than 70,000 individuals. �is has the potential to disqualify some originating sites that previously quali�ed without the 70,000 individual restriction. CCHP is uncertain if this was the intent of the author.

HR 2291 would also allow for reimbursement for applicable remote patient monitoring services, although it is de�ned separately from telehealth. �is distinction allows RPM services to avoid the restrictions on telehealth services that currently exist in the Medicare program, however also further solidi�es the modality as di�erent from telehealth. �e bill only provides Medicare the ability to cover applicable RPM services, but does not require them to do so.

In determining the relative value of applicable remote patient monitoring services, the Secretary would be required to take into consideration physician or practitioner resources, practice expense cost and malpractice expense resources. �e Secretary must provide for separate payment for the service and cannot adjust the relative value units assigned to other services that might otherwise have been determined to include such separately paid remote patient monitoring services.

<p style="margin:20px 0 0 0; padding: 0;">It's <strong>Cyber Monday</strong> and Workplace Fairness now has some great cyber deals for you!</p>

<p style="margin:20px 0 0 0; padding: 0;"><strong>Workplace Fairness is the web's leading resource to get workers' rights information.</strong> Part of that means providing information about attorneys who represent workers. Last month, our website tra�c hit <strong>4 million users</strong> annually, and we are consistently at the <strong>top of Google's rankings</strong> for "�nd an employment lawyer" and "employment attorney directory ." Have you checked your WF attorney listing lately? <a href="http://www.workplacefairness.org/�nd-attorney" target="_blank">Go to our attorney listings</a> and search via state or zip code.</p>

<p style="margin:20px 0 0 0; padding: 0;"><strong>Buried in the listings or not happy with your placement?</strong> Workplace Fairness o�ers <a href="http://www.workplacefairness.org/free-employment-attorney-directory?link_id=2&can_id=c237030bc8276e5842caf92848386aa2&source=email-cyber-monday-deals-on-workplace-fairness-attorney-listings&email_referrer=cyber-monday-deals-on-workplace-fairness-attorney-listings&email_subject=cyber-monday-deals-on-workplace-fairness-attorney-listings" target="_blank">deluxe listing services</a> that can help your �rm reach even more clients.
