RTM + Pulmonology
RTM for Pulmonology — PointClickCare + CCN Health
Specialized RTM protocols for Pulmonology — integrated with PointClickCare, powered by CCN Health. Evidence-based workflows, automated documentation, and Medicare billing.
CCN Health provides a certified Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) integration with PointClickCare optimized for pulmonology practices, featuring sensorless monitoring technology. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring for Pulmonology with PointClickCare
Pulmonology practices managing copd and chronic asthma can leverage CCN Health's RTM integration with PointClickCare for disease-specific monitoring, automated documentation, and compliant billing.
Pulmonology Conditions Managed
- COPD
- Chronic asthma
- Pulmonary fibrosis
- Sleep apnea
- Post-COVID respiratory conditions
Sensorless Monitoring for Pulmonology
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 pulmonology patients because it provides heart rate, respiratory rate, presence/absence detection data that directly informs clinical decision-making.
Clinical Protocols
- Continuous SpO2 and respiratory rate monitoring
- Threshold alerts for SpO2 < 88% or RR > 24
- Exacerbation detection via trending respiratory data
- Sleep apnea screening with overnight monitoring
Key Monitoring Metrics
| Metric | Clinical Significance |
|---|---|
| SpO2 levels | Tracked and trended for pulmonology management |
| Respiratory rate | Tracked and trended for pulmonology management |
| Peak expiratory flow | Tracked and trended for pulmonology management |
| Heart rate | Tracked and trended for pulmonology management |
| Sleep quality and apnea events | Tracked and trended for pulmonology 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
- J44.x (COPD)
- J45.x (Asthma)
- J84.x (Pulmonary fibrosis)
- G47.3x (Sleep apnea)
Clinical Evidence
Remote monitoring of COPD patients reduces exacerbation-related hospitalizations by 20-30% and enables earlier intervention during acute episodes.
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+

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Pulmonology — implementation, billing, and clinical workflows.
Yes. CCN Health has a direct integration with PointClickCare, allowing vital-sign data from RPM devices to flow automatically into resident charts without manual entry.
Device readings are transmitted to CCN Health's platform and then pushed into PointClickCare via API, appearing alongside existing clinical documentation for a unified workflow.
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.
