What is Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)?
RPM uses digital technologies to monitor and collect medical data from patient’s home location and electronically transmit this information to healthcare providers. These results allows clinicians to make assessments and, when necessary, recommendations referring to their health. RPM improves the quality of life and overall cost by reducing the number of hospitalizations, readmissions, and lengths of stay in hospitals.
CCHP States
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is the collection of a wide range of health data from the point of care, such as vital signs, weight, and blood pressure. The data is transmitted to health professionals in facilities such as monitoring centers in primary care settings, hospitals and intensive care units, and skilled nursing facilities.
How RPM Works
Onboarding
Patient assigned to a blood pressure device.
Dashboard
Patient results can be viewed in the RPM dashboard.
Billing
Platform generates appropriate RPM billing codes.
Device Use
Patient using blood pressure monitor at home.
Monitor
Real-time monitoring of the patient's vitals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is a healthcare practice that uses technology to collect patient data outside of a traditional healthcare setting, involving the use of various medical devices to monitor patients’ health and medical conditions remotely.
The data collected are then transmitted to healthcare providers or medical professionals for assessment, diagnosis, and treatment adjustments as necessary.
RPM has become increasingly important in the healthcare industry due to its potential to improve patient care, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance accessibility.
Ally Vitals collects blood pressure vitals transmitted via cellular-connected devices.
Physicians and other qualified healthcare professionals (QHCPs) can provide and bill for RPM. Clinical staff can furnish and manage RPM under the general supervision of the billing provider.
RPM services are accessible to all patients. However, it is crucial for providers to prescribe RPM only when the collected data is essential for managing the patient’s specific medical condition(s), ensuring this necessity is well-documented in the patient’s medical record.
RPM provides a wide range of benefits, including the following:
Keeping people healthy
Managing medication and requesting refills
Reducing the number of hospitalizations / readmissions
Reducing patient, provider, and overall healthcare costs
Enabling the elderly and disabled individuals to stay in their homes longer, potentially delaying or avoiding the need for skilled nursing facilities
The data collected are then transmitted to healthcare providers or medical professionals for assessment, diagnosis, and treatment adjustments as necessary.

Ally Vitals will help set-up the program needed for the established clinic. These are the general steps for providers who choose to deliver RPM services with minimal external support:
Identify eligible Medicare patients
Consider who you will take as RPM patients (i.e., establish your patient base) and obtain consent form
Identify the condition(s) you will manage
Blood pressure monitor will be provided for RPM
Set up an intake procedure to address matters such as initiating the patient care process, training patients on using the RPM device, installing the equipment in patients’ homes (if necessary), maintaining the devices, and responding to equipment problems
Establish policies and procedures
Train staff
Market program
Yes, and providers must obtain and document consents in patients’ medical records. Medicare allows for informed verbal consent, but other payers may require written. Patient consent form can be found in the Medimote RPM dashboard under documents
RPM is commonly used to manage conditions like hypertension, obesity, congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and diabetes.
