Remote Patient Monitoring, with somebody actually watching.

A blood pressure cuff sends a reading every morning. That is not a program — it is a data feed. The program is the nurse who looks at the reading that is out of range, calls the patient, and tells you the same day. We supply both, for the patients whose condition you are actively managing.

Why blood pressure is the usual starting point

US adults with hypertension, and how many have it controlled.

The economics

What the program is worth to a practice

An illustration, not a quote. Give us your own numbers and we will model it against your locality’s fee schedule.

Illustrative annual reimbursement

Example figures
Patients enrolled
100
Hitting 16 transmitting days
80
Per patient, per year
~$1,130
Annually, across the 80
~$90,000
The per-patient annual figure combines the device-supply and treatment-management services at approximate national Medicare averages (about $46 and $48 a month), rounded, and assumes twelve qualifying months; locality adjustment and payer mix move both, and additional interactive time bills separately. The 80% adherence figure is an assumption for the illustration, not a promise — it is the number we work hardest to protect, because a patient who stops transmitting is a patient nobody is watching. Nothing here is a guarantee of revenue.
Who qualifies

Not every patient — three conditions, checked first

RPM is for a condition you are actively treating and adjusting. A stable patient with nothing to titrate does not belong in the program, and we will say so.

An established patient of the practiceRPM is for patients you already have a relationship with. Both chronic and acute conditions qualify — hypertension, diabetes and heart failure are simply where it pays off most.
Ordered by the treating providerFurnished by a physician or qualified health professional, or by clinical staff under their general supervision, with the patient’s consent and cost-share documented.
Able to take a daily reading at homeReadings must be recorded and transmitted by the device itself, and the device month only bills at 16 days of data in 30. Ours are cellular and pre-paired — no smartphone, app or wifi — but the patient still has to use the cuff.
Where this program fitsPractices managing chronic disease day to day — primary care, internal medicine, cardiology, endocrinology and nephrology. It works alongside chronic care management for the same patient, and we track the rules so the two programs never collide on a claim.
What actually happens

The device is the easy half

Anyone can ship a cuff. The program is what happens to the reading after it arrives.

The device and the data

  • Shipped pre-paired — cellular cuff, scale, glucometer or pulse oximeter, ready out of the box
  • Onboarding call — we walk the patient through the first reading on the phone
  • Straight into the chart — readings post to your EMR, not a separate portal nobody opens
  • Transmission tracked — we watch the 16-day count and chase patients who fall behind

The clinical response

  • Thresholds you set — your numbers, your rules for what counts as out of range
  • Nurse review — every outlier looked at by a person, not just flagged by software
  • Patient contact — adherence, symptoms, and whether they actually took the medication
  • Same-day escalation — anything needing a physician reaches you the day it happens

What we do, and what stays with you

OnPoint RCM does

  • Identifies candidates from your EMR and confirms eligibility
  • Explains the program, captures consent, ships the device
  • Onboards the patient and troubleshoots the hardware
  • Reviews readings daily against your thresholds
  • Calls patients on adherence and out-of-range values
  • Tracks transmission days and logs interactive time

Your practice keeps

  • The order — RPM starts with your provider
  • The thresholds and the escalation rules
  • Every treatment decision and medication change
  • The claim, under your NPI
How it runs

A loop, not a project

The middle steps repeat every day. Billing thresholds are checked at day 16 and again at month end.

Questions we get

Before you ask

Who supplies the devices?

We do, and we replace them when they fail. The patient does not buy hardware and does not need a smartphone, home wifi or an app — the device has its own cellular connection.

Does this replace office visits?

No. It gives you readings between visits so the visit starts from thirty days of real data instead of one number taken in your exam room.

Can a patient be in RPM and chronic care management?

Yes, and many are. The time counted toward each has to be kept separate, which is a documentation problem — ours, not yours.

What if the patient stops transmitting?

They go into an adherence sequence: a call, a troubleshoot, a replacement device if the hardware is at fault. If they still do not transmit, the month is not billed and we talk to you about whether they should stay in the program.
