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

What 98978 covers

98978 identifies remote therapeutic monitoring device supply for monitoring related to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It applies when qualifying monitoring occurs on 16–30 days within a 30-day period. The code describes the monitoring supply, not a CBT treatment session or the clinician’s remote treatment-management time. The day range distinguishes it from 98986, the shorter-period CBT supply code. RTM supply codes 98976 and 98977 cover respiratory and musculoskeletal monitoring, respectively.

Medicare lists physician fee schedule status C (carrier priced): CMS publishes no national payment, and the Medicare Administrative Contractor sets payment for each claim. The code is in CPT Category I. Choose the supply code according to the monitored subject and qualifying day count in the 30-day period. Code 98975 describes initial setup and patient education, while 98980 and 98981 describe remote treatment-management time. These codes identify different parts of an RTM service; 98978 is for CBT-related device supply in the 16–30-day range.
