Electronic Caregiver does Remote Patient Monitoring the Right Way
Patient-Centered and Doctor Workflow Designed
Electronic Caregiver is the only company that deploys solutions tailored for provider workflows and patient satisfaction. CMS provides reimbursement codes for remote patient monitoring which can be a valuable asset for improved patient outcomes, early identification, and improved treatment adherence. Treatment non-adherence is responsible for 50% of treatment failures alone.
Remote Patient Monitoring has to Work for the Patient & Provider
One size fits all is the wrong solution.
Disease profiles differ, office workflows and automation systems differ and so do staffing environments and workloads. For Remote Patient Monitoring to be effective it has to work for the provider and the patient, tailored for suitability for both.

FAQs and Implementation Points
What is Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)?
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) uses digital technologies to collect medical and other forms of health data from individuals in one location and electronically transmit that information securely to health care providers in a different location for assessment and recommendations.
What conditions are considered coverable by Medicare under RPM?
Medicare defines a Chronic Illness as a condition to last at least 12 months, or until death and puts the patient at risk for death, decompensation or functional decline.
Please note, CMS does not currently allow for reimbursement for RPM separately for designated Rural Health Clinics or Federally Qualified Health Clinics.
What are the Services, CPT codes and Reimbursement related to RPM?
CPT code 99453: Initial setup. Published rate $21, one time. “Remote monitoring of physiologic parameter(s) (eg, weight, blood pressure, pulse oximetry, respiratory flow rate), initial; set-up and patient education on use of equipment.”
CPT code 99454: Technology fee. Published rate, $69 per month. “Remote monitoring of physiologic parameter(s) (eg, weight, blood pressure, pulse oximetry, respiratory flow rate), initial; device(s) supply with daily recording(s) or programmed alert(s) transmission, each 30 days.”
CPT code 99457: Monitoring fee. Published rate, approximately $54 per month. “Remote physiologic monitoring treatment management services, 20 minutes or more of clinical staff/physician/other qualified healthcare professional time in a calendar month requiring interactive communication with the patient/caregiver during the month.”
How do I, as a provider get started?
RPM is done through a contracted service with Electronic Caregiver, Inc. which provides:
- A higher ROI for providers
- Allows the provider to focus on the core business of managing their practice
- Offers a higher overall level of personalized service for each patient
We recommend a start with a small number of appropriate patients, which allows providers the ability to determine if the services are meeting the patient’s expectations, as well as their own.
Apps on tablets and mobile devices can be expensive, confusing and difficult to use.
App solutions for use on a person’s existing computer devices create device connectivity and navigation problems. Without the right dedicated technology appliance utilization is poor, providers are inundated with unhappy calls from patients, adherence and outcomes don’t improve, and other remote patient monitoring providers offer little to no ongoing support. If a patient isn’t happy the doctor isn’t happy. If there isn’t coordination between the medical provider, patient, family, and the solution provider, communication and results quickly breakdown.
ECG delivers the most advanced infrastructure and voice based monitoring technology available.
We provide devices to monitor more vitals data under the allowable reimbursement than any other. We provide medication and vitals reminders and they’re monitored. During periods of non-response or non-adherence, Electronic Caregiver provides methods of patient support and real-time engagement to help and encourage patients to stay on track. It’s more than just threshold alerts. It’s coordination between the remote patient monitoring solutions and the entire care team, with technology that efficiently handles more of the heavy lifting and engagement than ever before.
Electronic Caregiver also includes 24/7 emergency response with a patient wearable included, for chronic care and at-risk patients.
We can push personalized, scheduled, automated, custom interactive voice assessments to further triage patients when conditions arise from monitoring alerts and health indicators. We help providers learn more, faster, for early identification and improved analytics. Electronic Caregiver employs a large clinical software and support team so providers get personalized solutions tailored for their particular service and preferences, delivered for complex disease profiles and a variety of patient conditions.
Electronic Caregiver systems conduct automatic self diagnostics and performance checks and report to our 24/7 customer service department.
We personalize messaging and packaging for each provider. Electronic Caregiver is fully redundant for reliability and continues function even during loss of power and without the need for an internet connection. If a provider has limited staff and requires assistance, Electronic Caregiver delivers a selection of remote patient monitoring assistive partners to help with managing data monitoring and patient engagements. We can deliver what providers and patients need, the way they need it.
