Remote Physiologic Monitoring (RPM): 2026 Evaluation and Management (E/M) Updates

Remote Physiologic Monitoring (RPM) services allows patients to use connected medical devices, such as blood pressure monitors, to collect and automatically transmit health data to their provider. The provider then use this data to treat or manage the patient conditions.

What’s new for 2026:

Updated CPT codes: Two new codes have been introduced to better reflect current practice and address gaps in reporting of monitoring less than 16 days or less than 20 minutes of management time provided.

New codes:

99445 - Remote monitoring of physiologic parameter(s); daily recordings or program alerts, 2-15 days. Note: Do not bill this code together with the 16-30 days of monitoring code (99454); only report one per monitoring period.

99470 - Remote physiologic monitoring treatment management services, provider or clinical staff time in a calendar month, first 10 minutes. This code allows for monitoring periods of less than 20 minutes per month.

Additional guidance on using RPM, refer to the MLN Booklet for Telehealth & Remote Patient Monitoring
