RTM is a Medicare program that uses digital tools to collect non-physiologic, therapy-related data — such as pain levels, medication adherence, and respiratory therapy outcomes — from patients between visits. It's billed under CPT codes 98975-98981.
The RTM CPT codes are 98975 (initial setup), 98976 (respiratory therapy monitoring), 98977 (musculoskeletal therapy monitoring), 98980 (first 20 min treatment management), and 98981 (each additional 20 min).
Residents use simple connected devices in their rooms. Readings transmit automatically to CCN Health's platform and into the facility's EHR, alerting staff to concerning trends before they become emergencies.
Most facilities are fully operational within 2–4 weeks. CCN Health handles device provisioning, EHR integration setup, staff training, and ongoing clinical support.
