REMOTE PHYSIOLOGIC MONITORING CPT BILLING CODES

Globally, healthcare providers are turning to remote patient monitoring software to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic and to improve the management of chronic illnesses, reduce hospital stays, and improve patient-doctor collaboration. In the USA, four CPT codes published by the American Medical Association in 2020, are associated with Remote Patient Monitoring services offered by healthcare providers to patients:
