Remote patient monitoring
About 99470: Remote physiologic monitoring treatment management
Report 99470 for the first 10 minutes of monthly remote physiologic monitoring treatment-management work, including an interactive communication with the patient or caregiver.
99470 represents monthly treatment-management work based on physiologic readings transmitted from a connected medical device. Examples include reviewing a patient’s home blood-pressure, weight, glucose, or pulse-oximetry trends and responding with a clinically appropriate management action. A physician, qualified health care professional, or clinical staff member may perform the work for a patient monitored at home for a health condition. The service requires at least one interactive communication with the patient or caregiver during the month.
Report the code for its first 10 minutes of qualifying treatment-management time in a calendar month; device setup and device supply are separate services. Documentation should identify the monitored condition and readings, the clinical review and management work, the interactive communication, and the time spent. Distinguish this shorter time threshold from 99457, which represents the longer initial monthly treatment-management threshold, and avoid counting the same work twice.

Yes. The service includes at least one interactive communication with the patient or caregiver during the calendar month.
Can 99470 and 99457 be reported for the same monthly work?

Can 99458 be added to 99470?
99458 is additional treatment-management time reported with 99457. It should not be used to extend 99470.
Does device setup or device supply count toward 99470 time?
No. 99470 is for treatment-management work, not the separate work of setting up the monitoring service or supplying the device.
