Remote monitoring
About 99445: Remote physiologic monitoring device supply, short-duration
Reports remote physiologic monitoring device supply when connected equipment transmits patient data on 2–15 days during a 30-day period.
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.

99445 billing questions
How do I choose between 99445 and 99454?
Count the qualifying days with device recordings or programmed transmissions in the 30-day period. Use 99445 for 2–15 days and compare with 99454 for 16–30 days.
What documentation supports 99445?
Keep the device and physiologic parameter identified, along with the reporting period and transmitted-data days. The record should support that the service involved remote physiologic monitoring.
Does 99445 report clinician review or treatment time?
No. It describes device supply and data transmission; clinician treatment-management work is a separate service, such as the work represented by 99457 when its requirements are met.
Can 99445 be reported with 99453?
They describe different parts of an RPM program: 99453 covers setup and patient education, while 99445 covers device supply for the qualifying transmission days.
Is 99445 reported for each transmission?
No. Select the code based on the qualifying transmission-day count for the 30-day period, not the number of individual data readings.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
