CCN Health provides a certified Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) integration with MatrixCare designed specifically for home health agencies, featuring respiratory monitoring technology. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
Respiratory Monitoring for Home Health RTM with MatrixCare
For home health agencies running RTM through MatrixCare, respiratory monitoring addresses a critical need: monitoring patients between home visits when clinicians are not present. Combination of pulse oximetry (SpO2), respiratory rate tracking via sensorless radar, and spirometry data capture enables comprehensive respiratory monitoring. Peak flow meters and connected spirometers transmit readings automatically to the CCN Health platform.
Why Respiratory Monitoring for Home Health
Home Health agencies serve patients receiving skilled nursing or therapy services in their homes, often managing chronic conditions between agency visits. Respiratory Monitoring is particularly relevant because:
- Multi-sensor approach captures complete respiratory picture
- Combines SpO2, respiratory rate, and airflow measurements
- Early detection of COPD exacerbations before hospitalization
How Respiratory Monitoring Works
Combination of pulse oximetry (SpO2), respiratory rate tracking via sensorless radar, and spirometry data capture enables comprehensive respiratory monitoring. Peak flow meters and connected spirometers transmit readings automatically to the CCN Health platform.
Data Captured
- SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation)
- Respiratory rate
- Peak expiratory flow
- FEV1 trending
- Breathing pattern analysis
Benefits for Home Health Agencies
Between-Visit Monitoring
Continuous data capture fills the gaps between scheduled home visits with objective vital sign data.
Reduced Hospitalizations
Early alerts enable clinical response before conditions require emergency department visits.
Clinician Efficiency
Automated charting reduces documentation burden, allowing clinicians to focus on direct patient care.
Respiratory Monitoring vs. Traditional Approaches
| Factor | Respiratory Monitoring | Traditional |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | SpO2 + RR + spirometry combined | Individual tests at office visits |
| Frequency | Daily monitoring with trending | Quarterly pulmonary function tests |
| Exacerbation Detection | Real-time pattern-based alerts | Patient-reported symptoms |
| Data Integration | All data in one platform | Fragmented across systems |
| Therapy Tracking | Inhaler and treatment compliance | Self-reported adherence |
Common Conditions in Home Health
- heart failure
- COPD
- diabetes
- post-surgical
- wound care
- medication management
Billing & Reimbursement
Respiratory Monitoring data contributes to RTM billing in home health settings:
| CPT Code | Reimbursement | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 98975 | ~$19 | Initial setup and patient education for RTM device |
| 98976 | ~$50/mo | 16+ days of respiratory therapy monitoring data |
| 98977 | ~$50/mo | 16+ days of MSK therapy monitoring data |
| 98980 | ~$48/mo | First 20 minutes of treatment management services |
| 98981 | ~$38/mo | Each additional 20 minutes of treatment management |
Monthly potential per patient: $100+

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about implementation, billing, and clinical workflows.
Yes. CCN Health integrates with MatrixCare to deliver monitoring data into post-acute care workflows, supporting RPM and CCM programs across skilled nursing and senior living.
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).
Home health agencies use RPM to monitor patients between visits, receive real-time alerts for concerning readings, and document care coordination to support billing and compliance.
Respiratory monitoring tracks breathing rate and patterns using connected devices or sensorless technology, enabling early detection of respiratory decline in patients with COPD, asthma, and other pulmonary conditions.
