CCN Health provides a certified Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) integration with August Health optimized for cardiology practices, featuring bp monitoring technology. The platform automates clinical documentation, enables real-time monitoring, and generates Medicare billing records for compliant reimbursement.
Remote Patient Monitoring for Cardiology with August Health
Cardiology practices managing heart failure (hfref and hfpef) and hypertension can leverage CCN Health's RPM integration with August Health for disease-specific monitoring, automated documentation, and compliant billing.
Cardiology Conditions Managed
- Heart failure (HFrEF and HFpEF)
- Hypertension
- Atrial fibrillation
- Coronary artery disease
- Post-MI management
BP Monitoring for Cardiology
FDA-cleared automated cuffs from Smart Meter (iBloodPressure), Omron, Bodytrace, and Telli Health measure systolic/diastolic pressure and heart rate with a single button press. Readings transmit automatically via cellular gateway to the CCN Health platform.
This technology is particularly valuable for cardiology patients because it provides systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate data that directly informs clinical decision-making.
Clinical Protocols
- Daily blood pressure and weight monitoring
- Threshold alerts for BP > 180/110 or weight gain > 3 lbs/day
- Medication titration based on trending data
- Heart failure decompensation early warning protocols
Key Monitoring Metrics
| Metric | Clinical Significance |
|---|---|
| Blood pressure (systolic/diastolic) | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
| Heart rate and rhythm | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
| Daily weight (fluid retention) | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
| SpO2 levels | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
| Heart rate variability | Tracked and trended for cardiology management |
Recommended Devices for Cardiology
| Device | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Blood pressure monitor | Cardiology monitoring |
| Weight scale | Cardiology monitoring |
| Pulse oximeter | Cardiology monitoring |
| Xandar Kardian sensorless (HR, RR) | Cardiology monitoring |
Relevant ICD-10 Codes
- I50.x (Heart failure)
- I10 (Essential hypertension)
- I48.x (Atrial fibrillation)
- I25.x (Chronic ischemic heart disease)
Clinical Evidence
Studies show RPM reduces heart failure readmissions by 25-38% and improves blood pressure control rates by 15-20% compared to usual care.
Billing & Reimbursement
| CPT Code | Reimbursement | Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| 99453 | ~$19 | One-time device setup and patient education |
| 99454 | ~$50/mo | 16+ days of readings per 30-day period |
| 99457 | ~$48/mo | First 20 minutes of clinical monitoring time |
| 99458 | ~$38/mo | Each additional 20 minutes of clinical time |
Monthly potential per patient: $120+

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Cardiology — implementation, billing, and clinical workflows.
Yes. CCN Health integrates with August Health to deliver RPM data directly into resident records, supporting senior care practices with automated vital sign documentation.
RPM uses FDA-cleared connected devices to collect patient vitals—such as blood pressure, weight, and glucose—outside of traditional clinical settings, enabling proactive care and early intervention.
The primary RPM CPT codes are 99453 (device setup), 99454 (monthly device supply/data transmission), 99457 (first 20 min clinical review), and 99458 (each additional 20 min).
Patients use an FDA-cleared connected blood pressure cuff that automatically transmits readings to CCN Health's platform, enabling clinicians to track trends and intervene early on hypertension or hypotension.
Most facilities are fully operational within 2–4 weeks. CCN Health handles device provisioning, EHR integration setup, staff training, and ongoing clinical support.
