RE: Proposed Remote Monitoring Policy Would Disrupt Patient Access to Care
Dear Administrator Oz:
The undersigned organizations respectfully urge the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) not to finalize its proposed policies for remote physiologic monitoring (RPM) and remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM).
If finalized, these proposals would cause immediate and significant disruption for approximately 1 million Medicare beneficiaries who rely on remote monitoring to manage chronic conditions, avoid preventable complications, and remain connected to their care teams. Restricting access to these services would move Medicare away from effective prevention and early intervention strategies and back toward more expensive emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and institutional care. A policy intended to strengthen oversight should not increase costs to taxpayers.
