Multi-Jurisdictional RPM/RTM for Non-Implantable Devices Contractor Advisory Committee Meeting: February 28, 2023

Published 04/10/2023

MACs hosted a Multi-Jurisdictional CAC meeting focusing on RPM/RTM for Non-Implantable Devices on Tuesday, February 28, 2023.

This meeting was held via webinar. 

On February 28 at 6 p.m. ET, Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs) Novitas Solutions (Jurisdictions H and L) and First Coast Service Options (Jurisdiction N), along with Noridian Healthcare Solutions (Jurisdictions E and F), CGS Administrators (Jurisdiction 15), Palmetto GBA (Jurisdictions J and M), and WPS Government Health Administrators (Jurisdictions 5 and 8) hosted a multi-jurisdictional Contractor Advisory Committee (CAC) meeting.

The purpose of the meeting was to obtain advice from CAC members and subject matter experts (SMEs) regarding the strength of published evidence on remote physiologic monitoring (RPM) and remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) for non-implantable devices and any compelling clinical data to assist in defining meaningful and measurable patient outcomes (e.g., decreases in emergency room visit and hospitalizations) for our Medicare beneficiaries to assist in the determination of whether an LCD should be developed. In addition to discussion, the CAC members and SMEs opined on pre-distributed questions during the meeting. CAC panels do not make coverage determinations, but MACs benefit from their advice.

This meeting was held via webinar and was open to the public; however, only CAC members, SMEs, and our RPM/RTM national work group CMDs participated in the meeting discussion; other attendees were non-speaking observers. The meeting was recorded and both the audio and written transcript was made public. 

Complete details including meeting agenda, bibliography, discussion questions, and non-speaking observer registration is now available on our website and can also be found on the Novitas Multi-Jurisdictional CAC Meeting website and on the First Coast Multi-Jurisdictional CAC Meeting website.
