Remote therapeutic monitoring
About 98976: Respiratory system RTM device supply
Reports respiratory-system remote therapeutic monitoring device supply when qualifying recordings or alerts are collected and transmitted on 16–30 days in a 30-day period.
This code represents supplying a remote therapeutic monitoring device for respiratory-system data collection and transmission over 16–30 days in a 30-day period. It is used in care such as monitoring treatment adherence or response for patients with conditions such as asthma or COPD. Pulmonary and other clinicians managing respiratory therapy may use the data to follow a patient between visits; the code is for the device-supply service, not the clinician’s review or treatment-management work.
Select the code based on the monitored system and the number of qualifying days, rather than the number of devices or readings. Documentation should identify the respiratory monitoring purpose, the device or data being collected, and the dates supporting at least 16 qualifying days within the 30-day period. The shorter respiratory-system supply code, 98984, applies when data collection occurs on 2–15 days. Initial setup and patient education are represented separately by 98975 when that service is performed; RTM treatment-management work is reported separately when its requirements are met.
