What Most Practices Don’t Know About RPM and CCM (But Should)

In today’s busy healthcare environment, many practices are missing out on two powerful tools that support patient health and bring in steady revenue: Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM).

At Axial Patient Care, we’ve worked with clinics that were already doing much of the work—like checking on patients between visits, managing medications, and following up on symptoms—but weren’t getting reimbursed for that time.

Let’s break down why RPM and CCM deserve your attention.

What Are RPM and CCM?

• Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) Uses connected devices such as blood pressure cuffs, glucometers, and scales to track patient health remotely and in real time.
• Chronic Care Management (CCM) Provides monthly support to patients with two or more chronic conditions. This includes education, care coordination, and regular check-ins.

Why Your Practice Should Care

• Reimbursable Work Many clinics are already doing the legwork but missing the revenue. Medicare reimburses an average of $62 to $150 per patient per month for RPM and CCM services.
• Reduces Front Office Burden Patient questions, refill requests, and check-ins often fall on your admin team. RPM and CCM shift these tasks into a structured, reimbursed care program without the need to hire more staff.
• Improves Outcomes Regular monitoring and communication help catch problems early, prevent hospitalizations, and keep chronic conditions in check.
• Easy to Implement With a partner like Axial Patient Care, we handle everything from patient onboarding and device setup to monitoring and monthly billing reports.

Real Impact

38% fewer hospitalizations for CCM-enrolled patients (CMS data)  95% of RPM patients feel more supported managing their conditions (NIH) $12,000 to $15,000 per month in potential revenue with just 100 enrolled patients

Final Thought If your practice wants to support patients more consistently, ease your staff’s workload, and add a new revenue stream, RPM and CCM are a smart choice.

And the best part? You don’t have to manage it alone.
