Remote Therapeutic Monitoring
At Thera Logics, we’re dedicated to making physical therapists’ lives easier — and that includes finding additional billable service opportunities while helping their patients get the best care possible.
Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) is an innovative approach in physical therapy that leverages technology to enhance patient care outside of the clinic. RTM allows physical therapists to remotely track and assess patients’ progress, adherence to prescribed exercises, and overall recovery in real time. This is achieved through the use of wearable devices, mobile apps, or other digital tools that collect and transmit data on movement, effort levels, and other relevant metrics.
With RTM, therapists can monitor their patients’ exercises to ensure they are performed correctly and provide timely feedback or adjustments to their treatment plans. This continuous oversight helps improve outcomes by promoting adherence, reducing the risk of re-injury, and ensuring that patients are on the right track toward recovery.
Moreover, RTM offers patients the convenience of performing their therapy at home while maintaining a strong connection with their therapist, enhancing the overall rehabilitation experience. For clinics, RTM not only improves patient outcomes but also creates new revenue streams through billing for these remote monitoring services.
RTM is transforming physical therapy by extending the reach of care beyond the clinic, empowering patients to recover more effectively with ongoing professional support.
Want to learn more about how your practice can benefit from BraceX — more than just seeing better results for your patients?
Billing for Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) in physical therapy involves using specific codes designed for remote monitoring services. These codes cover the time spent setting up and educating patients on RTM devices, monitoring the data, and interacting with patients to adjust their care plans.
Brace X simplifies this process.
Brace X collects patient data, including muscle strength, adherence to their program, exertion ratings, pain ratings, and satisfaction ratings. Alerts can be sent to patients to log in to make entries and alter the PT when entries occur. It may also track time spent by the PT making patient contacts and plan adjustments to support billing of RTM.
Billing for RTM offers several advantages for both patients and physical therapy practices.
Incorporating RTM into your practice not only enhances the quality of care but also optimizes business operations, making it a valuable addition to modern physical therapy services.
