What 98984 covers

98984 represents the supply of a remote therapeutic monitoring device used to collect or transmit information about a patient’s respiratory system. The device uses scheduled recordings or programmed alerts; qualifying monitoring occurs on 2–15 days during a 30-day period. Pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, and other clinicians managing conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease may use this service for patients monitored outside the clinic, including at home. The code concerns respiratory-system device supply and data transmission, rather than an in-person respiratory test.

Select it by counting qualifying monitoring days in the 30-day period: 2–15 days fit 98984, while 16–30 days fit 98976. Keep records supporting the respiratory indication, device supply, transmission activity, and dates counted. Clinician treatment-management time and initial device setup and education are distinct RTM services, not part of this supply code. Under the Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, CMS assigns 0 work RVUs, 1.55 practice-expense RVUs in both office and facility settings, and 0.01 malpractice RVUs.
