RPM + Cardiology
Remote Patient Monitoring for Cardiology — Ethizo + CCN Health
Specialized RPM protocols for Cardiology — integrated with Ethizo, powered by CCN Health. Evidence-based workflows, automated documentation, and Medicare billing.
CCN Health provides a certified Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) integration with Ethizo optimized for cardiology practices, featuring sensorless monitoring technology. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
Remote Patient Monitoring for Cardiology with Ethizo
Cardiology practices managing heart failure (hfref and hfpef) and hypertension can leverage CCN Health's RPM integration with Ethizo for disease-specific monitoring, automated documentation, and compliant billing.
Cardiology Conditions Managed
- Heart failure (HFrEF and HFpEF)
- Hypertension
- Atrial fibrillation
- Coronary artery disease
- Post-MI management
Sensorless Monitoring for Cardiology
Xandar Kardian XK300 uses 60GHz radar waves to detect micro-movements of the chest wall from breathing and heartbeat, capturing vital signs without any physical contact.
This technology is particularly valuable for cardiology patients because it provides heart rate, respiratory rate, presence/absence detection data that directly informs clinical decision-making.
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 |
Recommended Devices for Cardiology
| Device | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Blood pressure monitor | Cardiology monitoring |
| Weight scale | Cardiology monitoring |
| Pulse oximeter | Cardiology monitoring |
| Xandar Kardian sensorless (HR, RR) | Cardiology monitoring |
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

| 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+
Frequently Asked Questions
How does RPM support cardiology practices?
CCN Health's RPM integration provides cardiology-specific monitoring protocols, automated documentation in Ethizo, and compliant Medicare billing for heart failure (hfref and hfpef) and related conditions.
What devices are recommended for cardiology RPM?
For cardiology patients, CCN Health recommends blood pressure monitor, weight scale, pulse oximeter based on the specific conditions being managed.
Can RPM data integrate with specialist workflows?
Yes. All RPM data flows into Ethizo and is available for specialist review, care plan updates, and cross-program coordination.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Cardiology — implementation, billing, and clinical workflows.
Yes. CCN Health integrates with the Ethizo practice management platform, enabling RPM and CCM data to flow into patient records for streamlined senior care workflows.
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).
Sensorless monitoring uses under-mattress or contactless sensors to track vitals like heart rate, respiratory rate, and sleep patterns without the resident wearing or operating any device.
Most facilities are fully operational within 2–4 weeks. CCN Health handles device provisioning, EHR integration setup, staff training, and ongoing clinical support.
