CGM Integration for Remote Patient Monitoring with August Health
CCN Health's integration brings cgm integration capabilities directly into your August Health RPM workflow. Dexcom G7 sensors measure interstitial glucose levels every 5 minutes via a small sensor inserted just beneath the skin, providing 288 readings per day without fingersticks.
How CGM Integration Works
Dexcom G7 sensors measure interstitial glucose levels every 5 minutes via a small sensor inserted just beneath the skin, providing 288 readings per day without fingersticks.
Vitals and Data Captured
- Real-time glucose levels
- Glucose trends and rate of change
- Time-in-range metrics
- Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia alerts
- Overnight glucose patterns
Key Advantages
- Continuous data (288 readings/day) vs. 2-4 fingerstick readings
- Real-time trend arrows showing glucose direction and speed of change
- Automated alerts for hypo/hyperglycemia before symptoms appear
- Eliminates painful and inconvenient fingerstick testing
- Improved HbA1c through actionable glucose data
CGM Integration vs. Traditional Monitoring
| Factor | CGM (Dexcom G7) | Traditional Glucose Meters |
|---|---|---|
| Readings Per Day | 288 (every 5 min) | 2-4 fingersticks |
| Trend Data | Real-time direction arrows | Point-in-time only |
| Overnight Monitoring | Continuous | Requires wake-up checks |
| Patient Comfort | Small sensor, changed every 10 days | Fingerstick lancets daily |
| Alert Capability | Predictive high/low alerts | Only at time of test |
| Staff Burden | Minimal — data auto-transmits | Manual testing and charting |
Ideal Use Cases
- Diabetes patients on insulin therapy
- Residents with hypoglycemia unawareness
- Endocrinology program management
- Skilled nursing post-acute diabetes stabilization
CGM Integration in RPM Programs
When integrated with CCN Health's RPM program through August Health, cgm integration data flows automatically into the EHR and contributes to:
- Clinical Documentation — Monitoring data documented for care plan updates
- Billing Compliance — Data transmissions count toward 99454 requirements
- Alert Workflows — Abnormal readings trigger notifications to care staff via August Health
- Cross-Program Use — CGM Integration data available across RPM, CCM, and other programs
Billing & Reimbursement
CGM Integration data contributes to RPM billing requirements:
| CPT Code | Reimbursement | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 99453 | ~$19 | One-time device setup and patient education |
| 99454 | ~$50/mo | 16+ days of readings per 30-day period |
| 99457 | ~$48/mo | First 20 minutes of clinical monitoring time |
| 99458 | ~$38/mo | Each additional 20 minutes of clinical time |
Monthly potential per patient: $120+

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about implementation, billing, and clinical workflows.
Yes. CCN Health integrates with August Health to deliver RPM data directly into resident records, supporting senior care practices with automated vital sign documentation.
RPM uses FDA-cleared connected devices to collect patient vitals—such as blood pressure, weight, and glucose—outside of traditional clinical settings, enabling proactive care and early intervention.
The primary RPM CPT codes are 99453 (device setup), 99454 (monthly device supply/data transmission), 99457 (first 20 min clinical review), and 99458 (each additional 20 min).
Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) integration allows real-time glucose data from CGM sensors to flow into CCN Health's platform, providing comprehensive metabolic insights alongside other vitals.
Most facilities are fully operational within 2–4 weeks. CCN Health handles device provisioning, EHR integration setup, staff training, and ongoing clinical support.
