Remote patient monitoring (RPM), which has been shown to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs, is a rapidly growing area of digital health technology. The global RPM market size was valued at $23.6 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach $118.5 billion by 2027.

Beginning in 2019, and most recently in the proposed Calendar Year 2022 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has significantly expanded reimbursement opportunities for providers who utilize RPM. This expert panel will discuss specific RPM use cases, the opportunities provided through CMS regulations, as well as barriers that still need to be addressed to ensure providers and patients can fully utilize RPM tools.
