Fast Break: CMS Telehealth and RPM Updates

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) continues the steady march toward expanded virtual care options, and the recent Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) is no exception. Buoyed by several favorable legislative changes and AMA-CPT developments, the PFS proposed rule contains several significant changes to Medicare telehealth policy, remote physiologic monitoring updates, and the introduction of new remote therapeutic monitoring codes. As has been CMS’s approach in recent years, the agency is keen on receiving stakeholder input through the notice and comment rulemaking process.

In this edition of Fast Break, we are delighted to have Director of Policy and External Affairs at the Center for Telehealth and eHealth Law (CTeL) Ben Steinhafel join us to explore the contours of the proposed rule as well as where CMS may go from here.
