What is Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM)?

The final 2022 Medicare Fee Schedule created a new family of CPT® codes for remotely monitoring musculoskeletal patients. Our team at Limber Health helped pioneer the RTM CPT codes.

Remote Therapeutic Monitoring was developed to better support musculoskeletal patients at home. RTM helps deliver improved engagement in your overall treatment plan and helps patients receive virtual support between their in-clinic visits.

"We chose Limber for their management of the RTM process. We tried to handle RTM on our own previously which led to more work and more confusion. With Limber it is a much more simplified process. Limber has had a great impact overall for our business. It has led to greater compliance from patients on their home exercise program which had lead to improved outcomes."
