There are two sets of codes in the CPT® code set for Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM). The first set is for the monitoring itself, and includes codes for initial set-up and patient education and for the device supply or data transmission. The second set of codes is for treatment management services based on the data received remotely.

“Remote therapeutic monitoring services (e.g. musculoskeletal system status, respiratory system status, therapy adherence, therapy response) represent the review and monitoring of data related to signs, symptoms, and functions of a therapeutic response. These data may represent objective device-generated integrated data or subjective inputs reported by patient. These data are reflective of therapeutic responses that provide a functionally integrative representation of patient status.”[1]
