LTC Implementing CCM and RPM
Yes, LTCs Can, and Should, Run CCM & RPM
Long-term care organizations are perfectly positioned to run Chronic Care Management (CCM) and Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM). Your residents have multiple chronic conditions, your nurses observe the earliest signs of decline, and your workflows already revolve around meds, vitals, and daily pattern changes. CCM structures the “between visit” work into a monthly, documented care plan, and RPM adds daily physiologic signals so you catch deterioration before it becomes an ED transfer.
Why LTCs Should Be Doing This
Proactive care that fits LTC reality: Most problems surface between physician encounters, CCM and RPM bring them to light quickly and route action to the right clinician
Better outcomes, fewer transfers: Early detection and adherence coaching stabilize cardiac and pulmonary cohorts, especially after medication changes or discharges.
Does not overburden staff: Routine coordination can be handled by clinical staff under general supervision, practitioners focus on exceptions and orders
Revenue at a Glance
When run well, CCM and RPM commonly add six to seven figures annually for mid to large LTCs. The drivers are eligible census, engagement, and consistent workflows.
Illustrative ranges, program and region specific:
120 engaged residents × $140 average patient reimbursement × 12 ≈ $200K plus per year
300 engaged residents × $160 average patient reimbursement × 12 ≈ $575K plus per year
500 engaged residents × $200 average patient reimbursement × 12 ≈ $1.2M per year
What lifts revenue: clean enrollments and consents, steady CCM completion, RPM and CCM run in unison and strong exception to action follow through.
What to avoid: double counting minutes across services, loose documentation, unclear ownership of RPM device supply vs professional management.
Nuances LTCs Must Get Right
SNF Part A status matters: During a covered Part A SNF inpatient stay (POS 31), CCM is not billable by a practitioner. RPM responsibilities must be coordinated under SNF consolidated billing. Once a resident is off Part A, CCM and RPM can proceed under standard rules. Attribute activity to eligible days only.
Consent and exclusivity: Obtain informed consent, including cost sharing. Only one practitioner bills CCM per month.
No double counting minutes: Keep CCM minutes separate from RPM management, TCM, BHI, PCM, and other codes. CCM can pair with either RPM or RTM. Do not bill RPM and RTM together.
Documentation that stands up to audit:
CCM: electronic, shareable care plan with problems, meds, goals, barriers, interventions, responsible team members, and follow ups.
RPM: FDA defined devices, 16 day data collection, logs for setup, transmissions, alerts, and clinical decisions.
