Bronwyn Spira, CEO and founder of Force Therapeutics, talked to Managed Healthcare Executive about CMS' new CPT codes that were introduced in 2022. These codes focus on musculoskeletal and respiratory conditions and the data that collected from patients affected. According to Spira, these codes help more patients in underserved populations receive better access to care as barriers like cost and transportation are removed through remote care.
"Remote therapeutic monitoring codes enable (patients) to still participate in health information that they need to improve their care," Spira said. "It enables them to be in communication with their care team, without having to be there physically. It really helps open up their ability to get care from true providers, regardless of their access barriers."
