Temperature Monitoring for Remote Patient Monitoring with August Health
CCN Health's integration brings temperature monitoring capabilities directly into your August Health RPM workflow. Connected thermometers from Jumper and other cellular-enabled devices capture body temperature readings that transmit automatically to the CCN Health platform. Infrared no-touch models available for contactless measurement in infection-sensitive environments.
How Temperature Monitoring Works
Connected thermometers from Jumper and other cellular-enabled devices capture body temperature readings that transmit automatically to the CCN Health platform. Infrared no-touch models available for contactless measurement in infection-sensitive environments.
Vitals and Data Captured
- Body temperature
- Temperature trends
- Fever detection events
- Temperature pattern analysis
- Baseline temperature tracking
Key Advantages
- Non-contact infrared options available for infection control
- Automated transmission eliminates manual charting
- Early fever detection supports rapid infection intervention
- Useful for post-surgical recovery monitoring
- Baseline trending detects subtle temperature elevations
Temperature Monitoring vs. Traditional Monitoring
| Factor | Temperature Monitoring | Traditional Methods |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement Method | Infrared or oral with auto-upload | Manual thermometer with charting |
| Data Transmission | Cellular — automatic | Recorded manually in chart |
| Fever Detection | Real-time alerts for >100.4°F | Discovered at next scheduled check |
| Infection Control | No-touch options available | Contact required per reading |
| Trending | Continuous baseline tracking | Spot checks only |
| Staff Burden | Minimal — patient self-service | Staff-intensive vital rounds |
Ideal Use Cases
- Post-surgical infection monitoring
- Skilled nursing infection surveillance
- Immunocompromised patient monitoring
- Seasonal illness tracking in congregate settings
Temperature Monitoring in RPM Programs
When integrated with CCN Health's RPM program through August Health, temperature monitoring data flows automatically into the EHR and contributes to:
- Clinical Documentation — Monitoring data documented for care plan updates
- Billing Compliance — Data transmissions count toward 99454 requirements
- Alert Workflows — Abnormal readings trigger notifications to care staff via August Health
- Cross-Program Use — Temperature Monitoring data available across RPM, CCM, and other programs
Billing & Reimbursement
Temperature Monitoring data contributes to RPM billing requirements:
| 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 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).
Connected digital thermometers transmit body temperature readings to CCN Health's platform, enabling early detection of fever or infection — particularly valuable in post-surgical and immunocompromised populations.
Most facilities are fully operational within 2–4 weeks. CCN Health handles device provisioning, EHR integration setup, staff training, and ongoing clinical support.
