At CircleLink Health, we are excited to announce our new Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) product, developed in partnership with FitCam Health, a best-in-class, FDA-registered RTM mobile app developer. This collaboration combines FitCam Health's cutting-edge, AI-enabled technology with our top-end, fully-staffed, and fully-managed care management services to revolutionize pain management.
The healthcare landscape has been continually evolving, with new opportunities for reimbursement and care improvement emerging for pain specialists through Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM). Since its inception in 2022, Medicare and commercial insurance plans have started reimbursing for RTM, focusing on patients with musculoskeletal (pain) or respiratory issues.
1. Improved Patient Outcomes: RTM helps doctors improve the quality of care and patient outcomes by:
2. Increased Reimbursement: RTM provides significant additional reimbursement opportunities for pain specialists. By tracking patient data and offering personalized care, doctors can submit more claims, thereby increasing their revenue streams.3. Enhanced Clinical Confidence: The continuous monitoring of pain and mood data allows doctors to prescribe interventions with greater confidence. The data collected through RTM justifies the doctor's judgment and prescriptions to insurance companies, reducing the likelihood of claim denials and ensuring that patients receive the necessary treatments.
Recognizing the potential of RTM, CircleLink Health began testing this innovative approach with select practices in Q1 2024. Given that pain management is our second-largest segment after primary care, we aimed to deliver exceptional results from the start. Under the expert direction of Dr. Jacob Hascalovici, MD, PhD, a renowned pain management specialist, we quickly achieved early success with Bliss Health.
The response to our RTM product has been overwhelmingly positive. Multiple pain practices, including both new and existing customers, have signed contracts to provide RTM to their patients. Hundreds of patients are already benefiting from the RTM FitCam app-enabled monitoring combined with personalized care management from CircleLink Health's skilled nurses. One provider group found the RTM program so essential to managing patients’ care that they only feel comfortable prescribing certain interventions to patients who opt-in. These patients need additional supervision, even outside the Dr.’s office.
FitCam Health is at the forefront of healthcare technology with its FDA Class I medical device-certified app, ensuring the highest standards of safety and efficacy for remote patient monitoring. Beyond the app, the FitCam Provider Console stands out as a critical tool for healthcare professionals. It enables providers and nurses to prescribe personalized programs directly to patients’ phones, effectively monitor progress, adapt programs as needed, and optimize billing at the end of each period. This integration of advanced AI and generative AI capabilities allows for real-time, personalized care, leveraging technology to not only improve patient outcomes but also streamline provider workflows and enhance engagement. The solution is fully HIPAA compliant, safeguarding patient data and privacy at every step
