Tonight at 7:00 PM ET | Empower Care Academy Live Join me tonight for a 30-minute live conversation on Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM). This is RPM 101. Practical, real-world, and straight to the point. We’ll cover: - What RPM is and how it actually works in primary care - What can be billed and what has changed recently - How RPM fits alongside care management - What implementation really looks like - Common questions and misconceptions - This is not a sales pitch and not a deep technical training. It’s about understanding the model, the clinical role, and the opportunity for nurses inside CMS-aligned care. I’ll also be sharing a RPM 101 PDF to support the discussion and give you something concrete to reference after the session. If you’re a nurse curious about RPM, care management, or how these programs work together in real practice, this session is for you. Come live if you can. If not, a replay will be posted. See you tonight at 7 PM ET.

Hi everyone, For tonight’s session, we’re going to talk about something that every nurse needs to understand if they want to partner with primary care practices. Many nurses approach providers by talking about tasks. “I can help with follow-up.” “I can check in on patients.” But providers aren’t looking for tasks. They are looking for solutions to the structural challenges inside their practices. The five biggest challenges I consistently see in primary care are: • Time constraints• Documentation burden• Follow-up gaps• Revenue leakage• Staff burnout In the slides I’m sharing here, I walk through each of these challenges and explain how nurse-led care management can help address them. This is the foundation for learning how to convey your value to providers. If you can clearly explain how your services help solve these problems, the conversation with providers changes completely. Take a few minutes to review the slides before our session tonight. We’ll walk through them together and talk about how to use this framework when positioning yourself to primary care practices. See you all tonight. Natasha

What are the big questions you have about CCM and starting a business, what are your challenges. I hated marketing my services, I believe I would have done so much more if I were more active with my marketing. But I'm grateful for the opportunities I have now as they are aligned with how I want to show up and what I love doing. Let's talk about it tonight during our weekly live event. Hope you can join us.

The 2026 RPM code set (what to bill now) A) Setup / patient education (unchanged) - 99453 – Initial setup + patient education on use of equipment (still your “start the program” code). B) Device supply + data transmission (this is where the big change happened) - 99445 (NEW for 2026) – RPM device supply with daily recordings/alerts and transmission for 2–15 days in a 30-day period. - 99454 (descriptor clarified for 2026) – RPM device supply with daily recordings/alerts and transmission for 16–30 days in a 30-day period. C) Treatment management (time + interactive communication) - 99457 – RPM treatment management, first 20 minutes in the calendar month requiring interactive communication. (No code change noted for 2026.) - 99458 – Each additional 20 minutes (add-on to 99457).
