How Medicare's Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) codes let clinics get reimbursed for the between-visit care they already provide — and how Allheartz makes it billable.
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) is a Medicare code family that reimburses clinicians for using a qualifying digital tool to monitor a patient's musculoskeletal status and adherence between visits. Allheartz is the qualifying device and platform.
A simplified example for one post-surgical patient. Only patients with active, qualifying use are billed.
Allheartz is the qualifying device and platform — it captures the 16 days of data, powers the interactive contact through CareHub, and produces the audit-ready record. You bill RTM for the between-visit care you already provide; Allheartz takes only a small fraction, and only when the platform is actively used.
Illustrative, for a surgeon monitoring their own total-knee patient across the first year. During the 90-day surgical global period, related post-op care is bundled into the global payment — so RTM isn't separately billable by the operating surgeon then. (A rehab clinic or PT not billing the surgery, or RTM for an unrelated condition, could bill during that window.)
Across a caseload this compounds — e.g., ~40 monitored patients ≈ $36k/year. Illustrative national Medicare averages; actual amounts and global-period rules vary by payer, region, and who bills the surgery.
