Clinical Context
Why nephrology practices benefit from RPM.
Nephrology patients require close monitoring of blood pressure and fluid balance. RPM enables daily weight and BP tracking that is critical for CKD management, especially in stages 3–5 where fluid overload can rapidly lead to hospitalization.

FAQ
Common questions.
What ICD-10 codes qualify nephrology patients for RPM?
There are 21 ICD-10 codes that qualify nephrology patients for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM). These include codes across 5 diagnosis categories: Chronic Kidney Disease, Hypertension, Other Renal, Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes.
How does CCN Health support nephrology practices with RPM?
CCN Health provides turnkey RPM services for nephrology practices — including patient eligibility identification, enrollment documentation, device provisioning, clinical monitoring, and full Medicare billing support. Most practices are fully operational within 1 week.
What is the revenue potential for RPM in nephrology?
RPM generates $97–220+ per patient per month in Medicare reimbursement. Nephrology practices with a high prevalence of qualifying conditions can scale rapidly, especially when RPM is stacked with other eligible programs like RPM and BHI.
