RTM + Cardiology
RTM for Cardiology — ALIS + CCN Health
Specialized RTM protocols for Cardiology — integrated with ALIS, powered by CCN Health. Evidence-based workflows, automated documentation, and Medicare billing.
CCN Health provides a certified Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) integration with ALIS optimized for cardiology practices. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring for Cardiology with ALIS
For cardiology patients in facilities using ALIS, RTM enables objective therapy outcome tracking with data flowing directly into the EHR.
Cardiology Conditions Managed
- Heart failure (HFrEF and HFpEF)
- Hypertension
- Atrial fibrillation
- Coronary artery disease
- Post-MI management
Clinical Protocols
- Daily blood pressure and weight monitoring
- Threshold alerts for BP > 180/110 or weight gain > 3 lbs/day
- Medication titration based on trending data
- Heart failure decompensation early warning protocols
Key Monitoring Metrics
| Metric | Clinical Significance |
|---|---|
| Blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
| Heart rate and rhythm | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
| Daily weight (fluid retention) | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
| SpO2 levels | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
| Heart rate variability | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
Therapeutic Outcome Measures
| Outcome | Use Case | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Pain Assessment | Post-surgical, chronic pain | Visual analog scale, tracked daily for trending |
| Range of Motion | Joint replacement, MSK rehab | Goniometer readings for joint mobility tracking |
| Functional Status | ADL improvement tracking | Standardized assessments of daily living activities |
| Respiratory Function | COPD, asthma management | Peak flow, inhaler usage, symptom scoring |
| Medication Adherence | Therapy compliance | Self-reported adherence with automated reminders |
Relevant ICD-10 Codes
- I50.x (Heart failure)
- I10 (Essential hypertension)
- I48.x (Atrial fibrillation)
- I25.x (Chronic ischemic heart disease)
Clinical Evidence
Studies show RPM reduces heart failure readmissions by 25-38% and improves blood pressure control rates by 15-20% compared to usual care.
Billing & Reimbursement
| CPT Code | Reimbursement | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 98975 | ~$19 | Initial setup and patient education for RTM device |
| 98976 | ~$50/mo | 16+ days of respiratory therapy monitoring data |
| 98977 | ~$50/mo | 16+ days of MSK therapy monitoring data |
| 98980 | ~$48/mo | First 20 minutes of treatment management services |
| 98981 | ~$38/mo | Each additional 20 minutes of treatment management |
Monthly potential per patient: $100+
