Bill overview
The Rural Patient Monitoring (RPM) Access Act aims to improve access to remote patient monitoring services for Medicare beneficiaries, particularly in rural areas. It addresses disparities in Medicare reimbursement for RPM, which are lower in states with high rates of chronic conditions like heart failure, hypertension, and diabetes. The bill seeks to ensure RPM services meet quality standards and provides for a floor on geographic indices used for payment, while also requiring a report on potential cost savings and practice expenses associated with the program.
