Remote monitoring
About 99091: Remote physiologic data review
Reports a physician’s or qualified health care professional’s collection and interpretation of digitally transmitted physiologic data, with at least 30 minutes of work per 30 days.
A physician or other qualified health care professional uses this service to collect and interpret physiologic readings sent digitally by a patient or caregiver. Examples include home blood pressure readings, glucose measurements, and ECG data used to monitor a patient’s condition. The work may occur in an office-based or facility setting and does not require the patient to be present while the data are reviewed.
Report the service for each qualifying 30-day period when the physician or qualified health care professional spends at least 30 minutes collecting and interpreting the data. Documentation should identify the data reviewed, the clinical interpretation, and the time spent on the service. The code represents professional review and interpretation, rather than device setup or the supply and transmission of readings; those activities are described by separate remote-monitoring services when their requirements are met.
