Key takeaways

  • Hear from Nirav J. Modi and Rick Gawenda, PT on the potential impact of these changes on rehab therapy providers in this on-demand webinar.

CMS has proposed changes to Remote Therapeutic Monitoring in the CY2027 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, including new limits on who can furnish RTM and proposed reductions in reimbursement. These proposals matter for any practice using or considering RTM, and for the rehab therapy field as a whole.

This is a proposed rule, not a final one, so there is still time to shape it. In this recording, Nirav J. Modi and billing and compliance expert Rick Gawenda, PT, walk through what CMS is proposing, what to watch as it moves toward a final decision, and how providers can make their voice heard during the comment period, open through September 14.

What this recording covers:

  • The proposed limit on who can furnish RTM, and what it could mean for how practices deliver it
  • The proposed reductions in RTM reimbursement, and the shift toward bundled G-codes
  • The distinction between RTM and RPM, and why it matters in this rule
  • How providers can weigh in during the comment period, and why it matters
