What 99445 covers
99445 represents the device-supply service for remote physiologic monitoring when connected equipment records a physiologic measure and sends recordings or programmed alerts on 2–15 days in a 30-day period. Common measures include home blood pressure, body weight, pulse oximetry, and glucose for monitoring conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, or diabetes. A physician or other qualified practitioner typically orders the monitoring, and practice staff coordinate the patient's use of the equipment.
Choose this code based on qualifying transmission days across the 30-day period: 2–15 days supports 99445, while 16–30 days points to 99454. Documentation should identify the monitoring device and parameter, the reporting period, and the days with transmitted data. This code represents device supply, not clinician time spent reviewing results or managing treatment. The CMS fee schedule assigns it zero work RVUs, consistent with a device-supply service.
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.
