Remote therapeutic monitoring
About 98984: Respiratory remote monitoring device supply
Reports respiratory-system remote therapeutic monitoring device supply when scheduled recordings or alerts are transmitted on 2–15 days within a 30-day period.
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.

98984 billing questions
When should the claim use 98984 instead of 98976?
Use 98984 when qualifying respiratory-system monitoring occurs on 2–15 days in the 30-day period. Use 98976 when it occurs on 16–30 days.
Can 98984 and 98976 both be reported for the same period?
Choose the code that matches the qualifying monitoring days for that 30-day period; 98984 and 98976 represent different day-count ranges for respiratory-system device supply.
Does 98984 include RTM setup or treatment-management services?
No. It represents respiratory-system device supply and data transmission. Initial setup and patient education, and clinician treatment-management services, are distinct RTM services.
What should the record show to support 98984?
Document the respiratory monitoring purpose, device supply, qualifying recording or alert transmission activity, and the dates counted within the 30-day period.
What is the difference between 98984 and 98985?
Both cover RTM device supply for 2–15 monitoring days, but 98984 is for the respiratory system and 98985 is for the musculoskeletal system.
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.
