According to the OIG, scammers are contacting Medicare enrollees through phone solicitations (“cold calling”), texts, internet ads (“click bait”), and TV advertising. Once these organizations obtain the Medicare beneficiary’s personal information (e.g., the individual’s Medicare number), they begin billing the Medicare program for setup of the equipment, patient education, and monthly monitoring of data. Typically (according to OIG), the scammers never send the patient the equipment requested (or the equipment is not FDA-approved) and the monthly monitoring never happens, but the enrollee is billed monthly, anyway. Durable Medical Equipment (DME) companies and pharmacies are specifically flagged by the OIG as organizations who may be making these offers or claims.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe OIG recommends individuals protect themselves by, among other things, not accepting medical equipment that hasn’t been ordered by their health care provider and being suspicious of anyone who offers free medical equipment and then requests the individual’s Medicare number.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat Does this Mean for Remote Monitoring and Digital Health Companies?\u003C/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the coming months we anticipate the OIG will increase investigations of “unscrupulous” RPM and digital health companies and target arrangements and practices the government agencies believe are illegal. It is not uncommon for a major takedown shortly after one of these fraud alerts is issued.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHowever, there is a difference between bona fide RPM services and suspect arrangements that do not involve the legitimate use of remote monitoring technology to deliver medical care. The OIG refers to the latter as “telefraud” schemes, and has \u003Ca href=\"https://www.foley.com/insights/publications/2022/07/oig-special-fraud-alert-arrangements-telemedicine/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003Enoted\u003C/a\u003E (in a July 2022 Special Fraud Alert) that it is important to distinguish those schemes from “\u003Ca href=\"https://oig.hhs.gov/coronavirus/letter-grimm-02262021.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003Etelehealth fraud\u003C/a\u003E.” As such, this Alert is not intended to discourage legitimate RPM arrangements. Indeed, the OIG acknowledges that, when used properly, remote patient monitoring is “beneficial for those whose condition might deteriorate quickly, where monitoring can reduce complications, hospitalizations or death.”\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERPM and digital health companies should take practical steps to help ensure their services, operations, and billing practices adhere to Medicare and Medicaid requirements. A prudent approach would be to conduct a privileged compliance review of current operations and arrangements, identify risk areas, and promptly fix them if necessary. RPM and digital health companies also should consider implementing a health care fraud and abuse compliance program consistent with OIG’s new \u003Ca href=\"https://www.foley.com/insights/publications/2023/11/hhs-oig-new-general-compliance-program-guidance/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003EGeneral Compliance Program Guidance\u003C/a\u003E. A few efforts taken now can help reduce the risk a company will find itself on the receiving end of an overpayment demand or a False Claims Act investigation.\u003C/p\u003E","url":"https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/remote-patient-monitoring-oig-issues-consumer-alert-ferrante-uiksc"},{"@type":"Article","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Thomas (T.J.)

During the Public Health Emergency (PHE), CMS waived the established patient requirement. When the PHE expired in May 2023, RPM services were once again limited to established patients. Those patients who received remote monitoring services during the PHE but who did not undergo an initial new patient exam will be deemed “established patients” under CMS’ recent \u003Ca href=\"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2023-14624.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003Erule clarification\u003C/a\u003E.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn sum, Medicare patients who received initial RPM services during the PHE will be considered established patients (i.e., patients who began receiving RPM services during the PHE will be “grandfathered” in). Those patients who receive initial RPM services after May 11, 2023 (the end of the PHE) will need to become an established patient before enrolling in a Medicare RPM services program.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ERTM Does Not Contain an “Established Patient” Requirement\u003C/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhile RPM services require an established patient relationship prior to billing RPM codes, RTM services have no such express requirement (at least not yet). We highlighted this distinction in our \u003Ca href=\"https://www.foley.com/en/insights/publications/2023/08/remote-monitoring-rpm-rtm-medicare-changes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003Eprior coverage\u003C/a\u003E and encouraged stakeholders to submit comments and ask CMS to confirm whether or not the “established patient” requirement applies to both RPM and RTM, or just RPM.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECMS confirmed in the 2024 Final Rule, “RPM, not RTM, services require an established patient relationship after the end of the PHE.” Despite the lack of an express requirement, CMS expressed its belief that RTM services would be furnished to a patient only after a treatment plan has been established (and presumably after the billing practitioner conducted an initial interaction evaluation with the patient).\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EUnder current RTM rules, the failure to conduct an initial patient evaluation and create an “established patient” relationship may not be a \u003Cem\u003Eper se\u003C/em\u003E deviation of RTM billing requirements, but it remains possible that failing to complete this initial interaction and create a treatment plan could expose RTM practitioners to post-payment audits based on Medicare’s “reasonable and necessary” standard. CMS said it will clarify this policy in future rulemaking.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EPractitioners Must Collect at Least 16 Days of Data Per 30-Day Period\u003C/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the 2024 Final Rule, CMS clarified which remote monitoring codes require at least 16 days of data collection in a 30-day period, and which codes have no such requirement. Prior CMS commentary indicated the RPM and RTM set-up and device codes (CPT codes 99453, 98976, 99454, 98977, and 98978) required at least 16 days of data collection. However, there was ambiguity as to whether or not the 16-day requirement applied to the four treatment management codes (CPT codes 99457, 99458, 98980, and 98981). We highlighted this ambiguity in our \u003Ca href=\"https://www.foley.com/en/insights/publications/2023/08/remote-monitoring-rpm-rtm-medicare-changes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003Eprevious blog post\u003C/a\u003E and encouraged interested stakeholders to submit comments advocating for greater flexibility on the 16-day requirement.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the 2024 Final Rule, CMS wrote:\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cblockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\"We note that in the CY 2024 PFS proposed rule, we inadvertently listed all of the RTM codes (88 FR 53204) in our discussion of these services and had made a general statement about the applicability of the 16-day data collection requirement. We would like to offer clarification that the 16-day data collection requirement does not apply to CPT codes 99457, 99458, 98980, and 98981. These CPT codes are treatment management codes that account for time spent in a calendar month and do not require 16 days of data collection in a 30-day period.\"\u003C/p\u003E\u003C/blockquote\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis represents the first time CMS expressly stated in published guidance how the 16-day data collection requirement does not apply to the RPM and RTM treatment management codes (CPT codes 99457, 99458, 98980, and 98981).\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EOnly One Practitioner Can Bill Medicare for RPM/RTM Services\u003C/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn a given 30-day period, only one practitioner can bill RPM (CPT codes 99453 and 99454) or RTM (CPT codes 98976, 98977, 98980, and 98981), and only when at least 16 days of data has been collected on at least one medical device. “Even when multiple medical devices are provided to a patient,” CMS explained, “the services associated with all the medical devices can be billed by only one practitioner, only once per patient, per 30-day period and only when at least 16 days of data have been collected.” Moreover, remotely-monitored monthly services should be billed only when reasonable and necessary, consistent with \u003Ca href=\"https://www.foley.com/en/insights/publications/2020/12/2021-remote-patient-monitoring-cms-final-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003Eprior CMS guidance\u003C/a\u003E.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen reiterating that only one practitioner can bill these codes, CMS did not expressly list the two codes for RPM treatment management services (CPT codes 99457 and 99458), although CMS did list the two codes for RTM treatment management services. In future rulemaking, interested stakeholders should consider asking CMS to clarify whether or not multiple practitioners can bill CPT codes 99457 and 99458 for the same patient in the same 30-day period. Until then, while it arguably may not be a \u003Cem\u003Eper se\u003C/em\u003E deviation of RPM billing requirements to have multiple practitioners simultaneously bill Medicare for the same patient, it remains possible that such billing could expose RPM practitioners to claim denials or post-payment audits based on Medicare’s “reasonable and necessary” standard.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EUse of RPM/RTM with Other Services\u003C/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPractitioners are permitted to bill Medicare for RPM or RTM (but not both) concurrently with the following care management services for the same patient so long as the time and effort is not counted twice: Chronic Care Management (CCM), Transitional Care Management (TCM), Behavioral Health Integration (BHI), Principal Care Management (PCM), and Chronic Pain Management (CPM). By allowing this concurrent billing, CMS intends to afford practitioners maximum flexibility when selecting the right combination of care management services for patients, while still guarding against fraud, waste, and abuse.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis restriction is not limited to Medicare. The 2023 CPT Codebook Guidance explains that CPT code 98980/98981 (RTM treatment management) cannot be reported in conjunction with CPT codes 99457/99458 (RPM treatment management).\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E2. Billing RPM or RTM During Global Surgery Periods\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen a billing practitioner furnishes a procedure or surgery subject to a global billing period (where the practitioner receives a lump payment covering the post-surgical follow-up services within the global period), that practitioner cannot bill Medicare for RPM or RTM services provided to the patient during that global period. This is because the global billing payment received by the practitioner covers those post-surgical follow-up services during the period. This policy was clarified in the 2024 Final Rule.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHowever, the policy that prohibits RPM or RTM services being furnished during the global period only applies to billing practitioners who are receiving the global service payment. Practitioners, such as therapists, who are not receiving a global service payment because they did not furnish the global procedure, are permitted to furnish RPM or RTM services during a global period. Providing RTM or RPM services during the global period is permitted if the practitioner is not receiving global service payment because they did not furnish the global procedure. This means, for example, a doctor can perform surgery on a patient under global billing, and a physical therapist can enroll the patient in the therapist’s RTM program for post-surgery rehab and monitoring.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECorrespondingly, CMS explained how, for a patient who already is receiving RPM or RTM services during a global period, a practitioner may furnish RPM or RTM services (but not both) to the patient, and Medicare will pay the practitioner separately for the RPM or RTM, so long as the remote monitoring services are unrelated to the diagnosis for which theglobal procedure is performed, and as long as the purpose of the remote monitoringaddresses an episode of care that is separate and distinct from the episode of care for theglobal procedure – meaning that the remote monitoring services address an underlyingcondition that is not linked to the global procedure or service.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E3. FQHCs and RHCs May Receive Separate Reimbursement for RPM and RTM Services\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHistorically, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) and Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) were not authorized to separately bill for RPM and RTM services, and payment was made through an all-inclusive rate rather than separate reimbursement. Beginning January 1, 2024, FQHCs and RHCs may now separately bill Medicare for RPM and RTM. They do so using the general care management code (HCPCS code G0511) on an FQHC or RHC claim form. The RPM/RTM services must be medically reasonable and necessary, meet all the coding requirements, and cannot be duplicative of services already paid for under the general care management code for an episode of care in a given calendar month.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERHCs and FQHCs may bill HCPCS code G0511 multiple times in a calendar month, according to CMS’ commentary, provided all requirements are met and resource costs are not counted more than once. CMS will post the final 2024 payment rate for the general care management HCPCS code G0511 on the RHC and FQHC center websites (which can be accessed \u003Ca href=\"https://www.cms.gov/Center/Provider-Type/Rural-Health-Clinics-Center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003Ehere\u003C/a\u003E and \u003Ca href=\"https://www.cms.gov/medicare/payment/prospective-payment-systems/federally-qualified-health-centers-fqhc-center\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003Ehere\u003C/a\u003E).\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E4. Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists can Bill RTM for Assistants Under General Supervision\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPhysical therapists (PTs) and occupational therapists (OTs) can provide and bill Medicare for RTM services. However, Medicare regulations for PTs and OTs in private practice (PTPPs and OTPPs) required all physical and occupational therapy services in that setting to be performed by, or under the direct supervisionof, the PT or OT. Requiring direct supervision levels renders it difficult for PTPPs and OTPPs to bill for RTM services performed by assistants (PTAs and OTAs) under their supervision.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBeginning January 1, 2024, Medicare will only require general supervision for PTPPs and OTPPs to bill for RTM services furnished by their PTAs and OTAs. This change is accomplished through the establishment of an RTM specific general supervision provision in 42 C.F.R. § 410.59(a)(3)(ii) and (c)(2) and 42 C.F.R. § 410.60(a)(3)(ii) and (c)(2). One caveat to this change: Medicare will continue to require PTPPs and OTPPs to directly supervise their employed PTs and OTs if the PT or OT being supervised is not individually enrolled in Medicare.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E5. RPM is Not Included in the Definition of Primary Care Services for MSSP\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the Proposed Rule, CMS considered adding RPM CPT codes 99457 and 99458 to the definition of primary care services used for purposes of beneficiary assignment in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP). In the Final Rule, however, CMS chose not to add those codes.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBased on its commentary, CMS’ concern is that while RPM codes could be billed by primary care providers to support the overall management of a patient’s care, the codes can also be billed by specialists. Because only one treating practitioner can bill RPM for a given patient, if a specialist bills these codes to support management of a specific condition, the patient’s primary care provider would not be able to also bill RPM treatment management services for the patient. As a result, including the RPM codes in the definition of primary care services for purposes of assignment could inappropriately affect the determination of where a beneficiary received a plurality of their primary care services under MSSP rules.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EConclusion\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe 2024 Final Rule reflects a continued maturation of RPM and RTM Medicare billing guidance. However, there continues to be some lack of clarity in the operation of RPM and RTM codes, some of which has been created by the iterative rulemaking process itself. Stakeholders should consider participating in future rulemaking in greater numbers to more quickly resolve some of the areas of uncertainty to allow these services to be better used to support increased quality and innovation in digital health models available to patients. \u003C/p\u003E","url":"https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/top-5-rules-medicare-2024-remote-patient-monitoring-what-ferrante-xnvde"},{"@type":"Article","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Thomas (T.J.)

Practitioners, in other words, must be registered with DEA in at least one state and have permission under state law to practice using controlled substances in the state where the dispensing occurs.\u003C/em\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\u003C/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EUnder the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), a prescription for a controlled substance issued by means of the Internet must generally be predicated on an in-person medical evaluation. See 21 U.S.C. § 829(e)(1). This requirement does not apply, however, when a practitioner is practicing telemedicine as defined by the CSA. The CSA’s definition of the practice of telemedicine includes multiple different categories of telemedicine. For several of these categories, the CSA specifically requires a practitioner to have a DEA registration in the state in which the patient is located. See, e.g., 21 U.S.C. § 802(54)(A), (B). But the practice of telemedicine during a public health emergency pursuant to 21 U.S.C. § 802(54)(D) does not include this requirement. On March 16, 2020, the Secretary of the United States Department of Health & Human Services, with concurrence of the Acting DEA Administrator, designated that the telemedicine allowance under section 802(54)(D) applies to all schedule II-V controlled substances in all areas of the United States.\u003C/em\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\u003C/li\u003E\u003C/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe March 31 letter extended waivers with respect to prescribing of buprenorphine.

As a result, the physician would possess information needed to understand the current medical status and needs of the patient prior to ordering RPM services to collect and analyze the patient’s physiologic data and to develop a treatment plan. CMS waived the “established patient” restriction during the Public Health Emergency (PHE) but in the 2021 Final Rule, CMS declined to extend such waiver beyond the PHE. Typically, this will require the practitioner to conduct a new patient E/M service in advance of initiating RPM services.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the 2024 Proposed Rule, CMS provides clarification that patients who received initial remote monitoring services during the PHE are considered established patients.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt is notable that CMS expressly references only RPM (and not RTM) when clarifying the requirement that services may only be furnished to an “established patient.” Thus, interested stakeholders should request that CMS clarify whether the “established patient” requirement applies to both RPM and RTM services.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cem\u003ERequirement to Collect 16 Days of Data Remains\u003C/em\u003E\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the Proposed Rule, CMS provides clarification that even though CMS has received various comments and inquiries about modifying its minimum data collection requirements for remote monitoring, as of the end of the PHE, the 16-day monitoring requirement was reinstated, meaning monitoring must occur over at least 16 days of a 30-day period.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAdditionally, it is notable that CMS expressly lists RTM CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) codes (98976, 98977, 98978, 98980, and 98981) as those that depend on collection of no fewer than 16 days of data in a 30-day period. Last year, in its proposed 2023 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, CMS proposed a requirement that at least 16 days of data must be reported during a 30-day period to bill the RTM professional codes (CPT codes 98980 and 98981). However, CMS ultimately did not finalize this proposal in the 2023 final rule. It appears CMS is once again re-instating this proposal. If this proposed clarification is finalized, the RTM professional codes could not be used to manage the treatment of a condition if the monitoring services did not include at least 16 days of data. Furthermore, by specifically referencing only the RTM codes, CMS potentially introduces uncertainty with respect whether it also intends these limitations to apply to the RPM professional codes (CPT codes 99457 and 99458).\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESince separate payments for RPM and RTM services were established, industry stakeholders have advocated against this 16-day requirement arguing that it is clinically arbitrary and ignores conditions where a reduced number of days would be more clinically appropriate.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EInterested stakeholders should consider submitting comments advocating for greater flexibility on the 16-days requirement and what nuances apply only to RTM, only to RPM, to both sets of codes, or only to some of the RPM or RTM codes, but not others.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cem\u003EOnly One Practitioner Can Bill RPM/RTM\u003C/em\u003E\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the 2024 Proposed Rule, CMS reiterates that for either RPM or RTM, only one practitioner can bill CPT codes 99453 and 99454, or CPT codes 98976, 98977, 98980, and 98981, during a 30-day period and only when at least 16 days of data have been collected on at least one medical device. “Even when multiple medical devices are provided to a patient,” CMS explained, “the services associated with all the medical devices can be billed by only one practitioner, only once per patient, per 30-day period, and only when at least 16 days of data have been collected.” CMS also reemphasizes that remotely monitored monthly services should be reported only when reasonably necessary. These concepts are consistent with \u003Ca href=\"https://www.foley.com/en/insights/publications/2020/12/2021-remote-patient-monitoring-cms-final-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003Eprevious CMS guidance\u003C/a\u003E.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt is notable that CMS does not expressly list the CPT codes for RPM treatment management services (CPT codes 99457, 99458) when reiterating that only one practitioner can bill these codes. Interested stakeholders should consider requesting CMS clarify whether more than one practitioner can bill CPT codes 99457 and 99458 for the same patient in the same month.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Cem\u003EUse of RPM / RTM with Other Services\u003C/em\u003E\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECMS reiterates practitioners may bill RPM or RTM (but not both RPM and RTM) concurrently with the following care management services for the same patient as long as time or effort are not counted twice: Chronic Care Management (CCM), Transitional Care Management (TCM), Behavioral Health Integration (BHI), Principal Care Management (PCM), or Chronic Pain Management (CPM) codes.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECMS also references the 2023 CPT Codebook Guidance that “RPM and RTM may not be billed together” to ensure that no time is counted twice by billing for concurrent RPM and RTM services and to make clear that the same patient cannot receive RPM and RTM services in the same month. CMS specifically equates a patient receiving RPM and RTM in the same month to a provider billing RPM multiple times in a single month where there is more than once device, which in this guidance and past guidance, Medicare has made clear is not permissible.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EStakeholders who disagree with this position and interpretation should seek clarity from CMS regarding why RPM and RTM being billed concurrently as long as time is not counted twice is treated any differently than billing RPM or RTM with other care management services, which is permitted as long as time is not counted twice. \u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ESeparate Payment of RPM or RTM During Global Surgery Periods\u003C/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECMS clarifies that where a patient receives a procedure or surgery, and related services, which are covered under a payment for a global period, RPM or RTM (but not both) may be furnished separately to the patient and Medicare would pay for the RPM or RTM services, separate from the global service payment, so long as other requirements for the global service and any other service during the global period are met. Similarly, for a patient who already is receiving RPM or RTM services during a global period, a practitioner may furnish RPM or RTM services (but not both) to the patient, and Medicare will pay the practitioner separately for the RPM or RTM, so long as the remote monitoring services are unrelated to the diagnosis for which the global procedure is performed, and as long as the purpose of the remote monitoring addresses an episode of care that is separate and distinct from the episode of care for the global procedure - meaning that the remote monitoring services address an underlying condition that is not linked to the global procedure or service.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EAllowing Separate Reimbursement for RHCs and FQHCs\u003C/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor several years, RPM and RTM codes have been billable by physicians and physician groups, but FQHCs and RHCs have not been authorized to bill separately for these services. Generally, when these services are furnished incident to a physician or other professional’s service during an FQHC or RHC visit, payment is made through the all-inclusive rate.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECMS is proposing permitting FQHCs and RHCs billing RPM/RTM using the general care management code, Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) code G0511 on an FQHC or RHC claim form; provided that RPM/RTM services are medically reasonable and necessary, meet all the requirements, and are not duplicative of services paid to RHCs and FQHCs under the general care management code for an episode of care in a given calendar month.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECMS further proposes to revise how it calculates the payment amount for G0511. Currently, CMS uses an unweighted average of the various codes included within HCPCS Code G0511. CMS states that due to the lower clinical intensity of RPM and RTM, adding the RPM and RTM codes would result in the reduction of the G0511 payment amount from a monthly rate of $77.94 to a rate of $64.13. CMS proposes instead to use a weighted average, which would result in a rate of $72.98 for the combined code. CMS is specifically seeking comment on its proposal to revise the payment rate methodology for G0511.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EStakeholders should consider submitting input relating to how HCPCS Code G0511 will be valued going forward and requesting clarification on how practitioners should handle clinical scenarios where both RPM/RTM may be used concurrently with other care management codes (e.g., CCM).\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EPTs and OTs Can bill RTM for PTAs and OTAs under General Supervision\u003C/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn prior rulemaking, CMS clarified that PTs and OTs can provide and bill for RTM services. However, current Medicare regulations require all physical and occupational therapy services be performed by, or under the direct supervision of, the PT or OT. In the Proposed Rule, CMS recognizes requiring direct supervision makes it difficult for PTs and OTs to bill for the RTM services performed by the PTAs and OTAs they are supervising. As a result, CMS is proposing to establish an RTM-specific general supervision policy that would allow RTM to be provided by an PTA or OTA under general supervision of the PT or OT, respectively.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ERPM Included in Definition of Primary Care Services for MSSP\u003C/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECMS proposes to add RPM CPT codes 99457 and 99458 to the definition of primary care services used for purposes of beneficiary alignment in the MSSP. This may serve to expand the scope of beneficiaries who receive RPM and more accurately assign beneficiaries to Accountable Care Organizations based on who the patient received RPM services from.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch3\u003ERequest for Information on RPM, RTM and Digital Therapies\u003C/h3\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECMS is seeking information on how remote monitoring services, such as RPM and RTM, are used in clinical practice with a focus on digital CBT.

(Read more about RPM rules \u003Ca href=\"https://www.foley.com/en/insights/publications/2020/12/2021-remote-patient-monitoring-cms-final-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003Ehere\u003C/a\u003E and \u003Ca href=\"https://www.foley.com/en/insights/publications/2021/01/cms-revises-2021-remote-patient-monitoring-rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003Ehere\u003C/a\u003E.) While there are similarities between RTM and RPM, there are notable differences.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E2. Who Can Order and Deliver RTM?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPhysicians and eligible qualified health care professionals, are permitted to order and bill RTM as general medicine services. A physician or other qualified health care professional is defined in the 2023CPT Codebook as:\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003E“an individual who is qualified by education, training, licensure/regulation (when applicable) and facility privileging (when applicable) who performs a professional service within his/her scope of practice and independently reports that professional service.”\u003C/em\u003E\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAccordingly, RTM codes could be available for physicians, physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs), physical therapists (PTs), occupational therapists (OTs), speech-language pathologists (SLPs), and clinical social workers (CSWs). CMS has stated the primary billers of RTM codes are projected to be physiatrists, nurse practitioners, and physical therapists.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E3. Can RTM Be Billed “Incident To”? If So, What Supervision Level is Required?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYes, beginning January 1, 2023, physicians and certain non-physician practitioners (e.g., PAs and NPs) may bill for services furnished by clinical staff under general supervision, provided that the other requirements for “incident to” services are met. However, for other qualified health care practitioners (e.g., CSWs, CRNAs, PTs, OTs, SLPs), RTM services must be personally furnished by the billing qualified health care practitioner or, in the case of a PT or OT, by a therapy assistant under the PT’s or OT’s supervision.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe two RTM treatment management codes (CPT codes 98980 and 98981) were initially created under the “General Medicine” category, not the “E/M Services” category. Accordingly, as discussed in our previous \u003Ca href=\"https://www.foley.com/en/insights/publications/2021/11/2022-remote-therapeutic-monitoring-cms-final-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003Epost\u003C/a\u003E, a practitioner could not order and bill for RTM services while having remote-based clinical staff perform the work under general supervision.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn an attempt to address these supervising and billing limitations, in the \u003Ca href=\"https://www.foley.com/en/insights/publications/2022/07/remote-therapeutic-monitoring-cms-proposed-changes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003EJuly 2022 proposed rule\u003C/a\u003E, CMS proposed to replace CPT codes 98980 and 98981 with four new specific Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) G-codes to expressly permit general supervision of auxiliary personnel by physicians and non-physician practitioners while also allowing certain other qualified health care professionals to furnish RTM services directly. However, after reviewing the public comments, CMS acknowledged that “confusion remains about how the new G-codes, if finalized, would or would not possibly create a chilling effect on the availability of RTM services.” Consequently, CMS decided to scrap the proposed G-codes and instead elected to modify its supervision policy for services furnished “incident to,” allowing general supervision for CPT codes 98980 and 98981. This general supervision is consistent with what CMS has done in the past for certain designated care management services. In the Final Rule, CMS stated, “Any RTM service may be furnished under general supervision requirement.”\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn 2023, practitioners eligible to bill Medicare “incident to” (e.g., physicians, NPs, PAs) will be able to do so for CPT 98980 and 98981 under general supervision. However, “incident to” billing typically is not part of the Medicare benefit for other qualified healthcare practitioners (e.g., PTs, OTs, SLPs), with limited exceptions. Such practitioners will not be able to leverage clinical staff under general supervision when furnishing the RTM services, meaning their RTM services must be personally furnished by the billing qualified health care practitioner or, in the case of a PT or OT, by a therapy assistant under the PT’s or OT’s supervision.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E4. How much time is required to bill for RTM Treatment Management Services?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECPT code 98980 requires a minimum of 20 minutes of time in a month dedicated to RTM treatment management of the patient.

Data around indicators such as therapy/medication adherence, therapy/medication response, and pain level can be collected and billed under the RTM codes. Under these codes, CMS recognizes “therapeutic” data—not just “physiologic” data—as an important category of patient information that can be assessed remotely. Whatever the data monitored, all RTM services must be reasonable and necessary in order to meet Medicare’s minimum billing eligibility, so the clinical use case and why the patient is being monitored is important to consider.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E6. Is RTM Limited to Specific Body Systems?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYes, the clinical use cases eligible for device supply reimbursement under RTM are limited. Namely, CPT 98976 is only for transmissions to monitor \u003Cem\u003Erespiratory\u003C/em\u003E system, and CPT 98977 is only for transmissions to monitor \u003Cem\u003Emusculoskeletal\u003C/em\u003E system. \u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn the 2023 final rule, CMS added a new code (CPT 98978) for transmissions to monitor cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and finalized its proposal to accept the American Medical Association’s recommendation to contractor price this CBT device code for 2023. Contractor priced status means the value and payment for CPT 98978 will be established at the discretion of each local Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) and could vary nationally. Practitioners will need to refer to their local MACs for specific coverage and billing guidelines of CPT 98978.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDespite requests from industry stakeholders for the development of a generic RTM device code, CMS declined to create one agnostic to the specific body system involved or therapy type the device monitors. Instead, CMS is seeking stakeholder comments to better understand the costs, data, and utilization of expanding to additional systems and conditions. Thus, in 2023, payment for RTM remains limited to services that support an episode of therapy where the clinical issue ties to musculoskeletal, respiratory, or cognitive behavioral therapy.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E7. Can RTM data be self-reported by the patient?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYes, CMS stated the RTM data can be objective device-generated data or it can be subjective inputs reported by a patient.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E8. What type of device or technology qualifies under the RTM codes?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERTM requires the use of a medical device as defined under the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act (i.e., not merely a wellness device). \u003C/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMany advocates asked CMS to clarify the kinds of technology covered under CPT codes 98975, 98976, and 98977. Some commenters gave examples of the kinds of technology they believe these codes should cover, such as Software as a Medical Device (SaMD), use of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning algorithms (ML), and other related evolving technologies. Unfortunately, CMS did not offer any specifics in the final rule on what technology qualifies, instead noting that its proposals do not include a specific RTM device list, nor specific examples of RTM devices that would be appropriate for use when furnishing RTM services.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E9. How Many Days of Data Must the Device Monitor?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECPT codes 98975, 98976, 98977 and 98978 require the RTM device to monitor at least 16 days of data per each 30-day period, in total.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E10. How Many Practitioners Can Bill RTM Device Codes Per Patient, Per Period?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOnly one practitioner can bill CPT codes 98975, 98976, 98977 and 98978 during a 30-day period and only when at least 16 days of data have been collected on at least one medical device. “Even when multiple medical devices are provided to a patient,” CMS explained, “the services associated with all the medical devices can be billed by only one practitioner, only once per patient, per 30-day period, and only when at least 16 days of data have been collected.”\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E11. Can RTM Also Be Billed with Remote Physiologic Monitoring (RPM)?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENo, the RTM codes cannot be reported in combination with the RPM codes (e.g., CPT 99453, 99454, 99457, 99458). Additionally, when a more specific code is available to describe a service, the CPT Codebook dictates that the more specific code should be billed.\u003C/p\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EWant to Learn More?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003C/h2\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https://www.foley.com/en/insights/events/2022/12/ata-edge2022-policy-conference-telemedicine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003E\u003Cem\u003EATA EDGE 2022 Policy Conference | American Telemedicine Association\u003C/em\u003E\u003C/a\u003E\u003C/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https://www.foley.com/en/insights/publications/2022/07/remote-therapeutic-monitoring-cms-proposed-changes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003E\u003Cem\u003ERemote Therapeutic Monitoring: What You Need to Know About CMS’ Proposed Changes\u003C/em\u003E\u003C/a\u003E\u003C/li\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https://www.foley.com/en/insights/publications/2021/11/2022-remote-therapeutic-monitoring-cms-final-rule\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003E\u003Cem\u003E2022 Medicare Remote Therapeutic Monitoring FAQs: CMS Final Rule\u003C/em\u003E\u003C/a\u003E\u003C/li\u003E\u003C/ul\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EFor more information on telemedicine, telehealth, virtual care, remote patient monitoring, digital health, and other health innovations, including the team, publications, and representative experience, visit \u003C/em\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https://www.foley.com/en/services/industry-teams/health-care-life-sciences/telemedicine--digital-health\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003E\u003Cem\u003EFoley’s Telemedicine & Digital Health Industry Team\u003C/em\u003E\u003C/a\u003E.\u003C/p\u003E","url":"https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/medicare-remote-therapeutic-monitoring-top-faqs-2023-ferrante"},{"@type":"PublicationIssue","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Thomas (T.J.)

NextPlat filed a lawsuit for damages against its former CFO for allegedly bypassing the company’s wire transfer procedures. Jason brought a counterclaim against NextPlat on behalf of the former CFO.

On July 26, after resolving the parties’ disputes over pre-judgment interest, the Court entered judgment in our client’s favor for $36.2 million, including $5.8 million in pre-judgment interest. The Court’s opinion is available here: https://lnkd.in/eGubkykX The lawsuit, filed in January 2021, featured a dispute between joint venture partners over the responsibility to pay working capital calls and losses arising out of the joint venture’s construction of a $3 billion highway improvement project in Orlando. We intervened on our client’s behalf in August 2021 to assert counterclaims against one of the partners and its parent company. After prevailing on liability on cross-motions for summary judgment, the Court held a bench trial on damages and awarded our client 100% of the principal amount sought at trial, plus an additional $5.8 million in pre-judgment interest. Post-judgment motions for attorneys’ fees are pending before the Court. The case is captioned The Lane Construction Corporation v. Skanska USA Civil Southeast, Inc., et al., 6:21-cv-164-RBD-DCI (M.D. Fla.), and the judgment remains subject to appeal.

The Florida counties and tax collectors petitioned the Florida Supreme Court to modify a 2022 $5 billion bond validation judgment issued in favor of the Florida PACE Funding Agency. The petitioners argued the trial court exceeded its jurisdiction and that they were not given proper notice of the bond validation hearing, which they claim left the vast majority of Florida counties unaware of the proceedings. The petitioners relied on Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.540(b), arguing that it allows for relief from a final judgment in cases of voidness, mistake, newly discovered evidence, or fraud. WSHC+B's experience in public finance and bond validation positions the firm as a key player in navigating these challenges. Their involvement in earlier PACE bond validations has set important precedents, contributing to the legal framework that governs these programs today.

Join us in Miami on February 5-7 for our annual conference, which convenes in-house counsel, law firm practitioners, experienced neutrals and all professionals invested in commercial dispute management to explore critical topics and issues. The panel “Crisis Management ADR: Mediating the Existential Conflict” is an example of the Annual Meeting’s substantive content. Crisis management is a major concern of companies today, and the corporate legal department is inevitably and sometimes centrally involved when a crisis hits – think of climate catastrophes, water contamination, mass torts, and more. Mediation, arbitration, and other forms of ADR can be key in the planning for, prevention of, and dealing with corporate crisis management that can, if poorly executed, pose an existential threat to the company. This panel will share their experience and expertise on these issues – crisis management from an ADR perspective – based on recent corporate and governmental crises. Speakers: - Eric Green, CPR Distinguished Neutral - Professor Herman B. “Dutch” Leonard, Harvard University - Bill Dodero, General Counsel and EVP, Bayer - Jana Litsey, former General Counsel, Huntington Bancshares - JAMES DONALD SMITH, Chief Intellectual Property Counsel, Ecolab - Fouad Kurdi, Mediator, Resolutions LLC - Dr. Josh Green, Governor of Hawaii ➡️ Learn more and register today at cprmeeting.org.

The panel overturned a 2023 decision by Leon County Circuit Judge John Cooper, and found in favor of several local hospitals and school boards that had sued drug distributors, manufacturers or pharmacies to recover costs related to treating patients and educating children affected by the opioid epidemic. Moody’s office entered into seven settlements with a variety of companies — with each of the settlements including a “release” of claims filed by local governments. In a 2022 lawsuit against the hospital districts and school boards, Moody’s office argued the settlements would provide money for opioid treatment, prevention and recovery services and that money would go to communities throughout the state. But the hospital districts and school board argued that Moody did not have the authority to release their claims. https://lnkd.in/eXwBpNBj #legalnews #legalupdates #legal #lawyer #lawyers #attorney #attorneys #tampalawyer #tampalawyers </p>   <div class="base-aside-card__metadata font-sans text-sm leading-open font-regular text-color-text-low-emphasis mt-0.5"> <code id="i18n_reaction_singular" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_reactions_plural" style="display: none"></code> <div class="flex items-center font-sans text-sm babybear:text-xs aside-activity-card__social-actions -mt-0.5"> <div class="flex items-center font-normal text-color-text-low-emphasis no-underline visited:text-color-text-low-emphasis my-1" aria-label="1 Reaction" data-test-id="social-actions__reactions" data-id="social-actions__reactions" data-num-reactions="1" data-singular="%numReactions%" data-plural="%numReactions%" tabindex="0"> <img alt data-reaction-type="LIKE" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/bn39hirwzjqj18ej1fkz55671" height="16px" width="16px"> <span aria-hidden="true" class="font-normal ml-0.5" data-test-id="social-actions__reaction-count"> 1 </span> </div> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-APPRECIATION" style="display: none"></code>  <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-EMPATHY" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-ENTERTAINMENT" style="display: none"></code>  <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-INTEREST" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-LIKE" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-MAYBE" style="display: none"></code> <code id="social-actions__reaction-image-PRAISE" style="display: none"></code>  </div> </div>  </div> <div class="base-aside-card__media flex-shrink-0 mr-0.5 overflow-hidden relative rounded-md h-[75px] w-[75px] base-aside-card__media--right"> <img alt="APPEALS COURT SAYS FLORIDA ATTORNEY GENERAL CANNOT PREVENT OPIOID SUITS FROM HOSPITAL DISTRICTS OR SCHOOL BOARDS Recently, a three-judge panel of Florida’s 1st District Court of Appeals ruled that Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody could not prevent opioid-epidemic lawsuits filed by hospital districts and school boards after she reached settlements with the pharmaceutical industry.

A trust fund defines the formal relationship between the grantor, trustee (a third party), and beneficiary. An individual with assets transfers them into a trust, which defines who will manage the property if they cannot do so. A trust fund is essential for protecting assets, estate planning, and naming beneficiaries. No couple expects that when they say, “till death do us part,” they will need to divide assets in a divorce, but as we know, half of all marriages fail. Unpacking the trust fund may become essential to dividing assets in a Florida divorce. Suppose you plan to divorce or marry, and significant assets are involved. In that case, you may want advice from a family law attorney with decades of experience in high-asset divorces and marriages.

The opportunity to retroactively claim your business Employee Retention Credit for the prior 2021 Tax Year is still available, with a next year April 15, 2025 deadline. This really is your FINAL chance at any potential ERC tax credit refund! Not all businesses will qualify, as it depends on multiple factors per IRS Rules and Guidelines. You might be leaving significant financial relief on the table from past COVID harm to your business in 2021. In late 2023, the IRS had “temporarily” paused processing. You will still want to check eligibility and file now (if you qualify) because the IRS will resume processing tax credit claims in the order they are received. TAKE ACTION NOW IN 2024 DON’T WAIT! Since the IRS has over 1,000,000+ Quarterly 941-X tax forms in their processing queue, this has caused much longer delays in getting ERC Refund Checks for those that qualify. The IRS processes ERC Claims in the order they are received. If you haven’t previously filed for the ERC Credit, it is worth scheduling a phone call to explore your possible eligibility from the past 2021 business tax year. Again, not all businesses will qualify, but it’s worth a professional deep-dive evaluation. https://lnkd.in/dtr69VW9 #ERC #ERTC #EmployeeRetentionCredit #EmployeeRetentionTaxCredit #TaxCredit </p>   <div class="base-aside-card__metadata font-sans text-sm leading-open font-regular text-color-text-low-emphasis mt-0.5"> <code id="i18n_reaction_singular" style="display: none"></code> <code id="i18n_reactions_plural" style="display: none"></code>  </div>  </div> <div class="base-aside-card__media flex-shrink-0 mr-0.5 overflow-hidden relative rounded-md h-[75px] w-[75px] base-aside-card__media--right"> <img alt="Alabama Attorneys, Lawyers, and Law Firms Employee Retention Credit in AL (updated January 2024) https://lnkd.in/gDecreZA Key ERC Credit Takeaways: - AL Law Firms Can Claim ERC: Alabama legal professionals are eligible for the Employee Retention Credit. - ERC Benefits for Attorneys: Discover the tax credit advantages available to Alabama law firms. - Qualification Criteria Explained: Learn the eligibility requirements for law firms to claim the ERC. - Maximize Your Firm’s Credit: Strategies for Alabama attorneys to get the most out of the ERC. - ERC Filing Process: Understand the steps Alabama law offices need to take to claim the credit.

Since the IRS has over 1,000,000+ Quarterly 941-X tax forms in their processing queue, this has caused much longer delays in getting ERC Refund Checks for those that qualify. The IRS processes ERC Claims in the order they are received. If you haven’t previously filed for the ERC Credit, it is worth scheduling a phone call to explore your possible eligibility from the past 2021 business tax year. Again, not all businesses will qualify, but it’s worth a professional deep-dive evaluation. https://lnkd.in/dtr69VW9 #ERC #ERTC #EmployeeRetentionCredit #EmployeeRetentionTaxCredit #TaxCredit" aria-hidden="true" data-delayed-url="https://media.licdn.com/dms/image/v2/D5610AQHnxBHtMkR3oA/image-shrink_1280/image-shrink_1280/0/1714742223857?e=2147483647&v=beta&t=JfVl1WF-fQcgvIybmT3FC0-MKJSc1-0FnunaPJt5Q3U">  </div> </a> </div> </li> </ul> <button class="show-more-less__button show-more-less__more-button show-more-less-button " aria-expanded="false" data-tracking-control-name="public_profile_relatedPosts_show_more"> Show more posts <icon class="show-more-less__button--chevron show-more-less-button-icon" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/cyolgscd0imw2ldqppkrb84vo"></icon> </button> <button class="show-more-less__button show-more-less__less-button show-more-less-button show-more-less__button--hide" aria-expanded="false" data-tracking-control-name="public_profile_relatedPosts_show_more"> Show fewer posts <icon class="show-more-less__button--chevron show-more-less-button-icon" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/4chtt12k98xwnba1nimld2oyg"></icon> </button> </div> </div> </section> <section class="aside-section-container mb-4">   <div class="aside-section-container__content break-words"> <section class="content-hub-cta container-lined p-2 max-w-[300px] font-sans text-color-text !max-w-none" data-nosnippet="true"> <div class="flex flex-row"> <img class="content-hub-cta__img block mr-1.5 w-6 h-6" data-delayed-url="https://static.licdn.com/aero-v1/sc/h/c8ms9smqq4fefx1fgb22l0eus" alt> <h2 class="content-hub-cta__title text-lg font-bold m-0"> Explore collaborative articles </h2> </div> <p class="content-hub-cta__body text-sm font-light leading-open my-1"> We’re unlocking community knowledge in a new way.
