2025 CMS Remote Care Updates – CCM, RPM, PCM, FQHC & Telehealth

Event Materials (Key Required)

Recently the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) issued a proposed rule that announces the proposed policy changes for Medicare payments under the Physician Fee Schedule (PFS), and other Medicare Part B issues, effective on or after January 1, 2025. Join us for an insightful webinar to understand the CMS Medicare’s 2025 changes to Remote Care Billing, Coding and Reimbursement. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has unveiled the proposed rule for the 2025 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (MPFS), which includes significant changes that could impact the delivery, coding, and billing of remote care management. These changes also introduce new services that providers can incorporate to help mitigate the overall payment reduction.

Expert Dr. Irina Koyfman, DNP, NP-C, RN, will review the CMS Medicare’s changes in remote patient monitoring, remote therapeutic monitoring, care management, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), preventive care, behavioral health services and telehealth; and also guide you to how to be proactively compliance with these changes. These changes in physician payment policies can impact your practice’s reimbursement and payment systems.
