RTM, Revisited: Why Does Remote Therapeutic
Monitoring Deserve a Second Look?
Presented by Andrew Mickus, Jon Ide-Don, and Bryan Lang
Audio Runtime: 59 Minutes
RTM has a trust problem - and it earned it. Early programs asked practices to take on real operational complexity without delivering the outcomes to justify it. But the landscape has shifted in meaningful ways. Updated CPT codes have expanded what's reimbursable. Delivery models have matured. And the data from practices that stayed the course, or came back for a second look, tells a different story: higher patient adherence, stronger care completion, and revenue that doesn't require adding staff burden to generate. This is a candid conversation, not a pitch. Bryan Lang from Tandem RTM joins Jon Ide-Don and Andrew Mickus from Medbridge to walk through real program data, break down the delivery model decisions that separate practices seeing traction from those that stall, and introduce a full-service RTM approach that handles enrollment, care coordination, and billing, so your clinicians stay focused on care. If you've written off RTM before, this is the session that earns a second look.
