CMS Physician Fee Schedule introduces significant updates to how RPM and RTM services are billed These changes increase flexibility for care teams and make it easier for CCM programs to layer in RPM and RTM to support more proactive core between office visits.
The practical impact of the 2026 CPT updates is how practices apply the new billing rules in real clinical workflows, and how care is delivered, documented, and tracked over time.
Successful RPM and RTM programs also depend on reliable device deployment and data flow. ChronicCareIQ supports core management workflows and billing strategy. Tenovi supports device connectivity and data infrastructure that enables RPM and RTM programs to operate reliably at scale.
