Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 98975 covers

This service covers configuring remote therapeutic monitoring equipment and teaching the patient how to use it. For example, a physical therapist may help a patient start using an app-connected device to track home musculoskeletal therapy. The setup and instruction may be performed in an office or another care setting by the clinician responsible for the monitoring program; the work is distinct from later review of transmitted information or ongoing device supply.

Report 98975 when the record supports that setup and patient education were furnished, identifying the equipment and the instruction provided. It is not the code for recurring device-supply days or clinician treatment-management time; those services have separate RTM codes when furnished and documented. CMS assigns this service practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, with no work RVU.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.
