What is RTM actually worth in your clinic?
Remote therapeutic monitoring pays you to keep an eye on patients between visits — work most outpatient clinics already do and bill nothing for. Move the sliders to your caseload and see the monthly and annual figures at conservative national rates. Every number is one your own biller can reproduce.
“Share on monitoring” is the slice of your active caseload enrolled and clearing the monitoring-day threshold in a given month. Patients who fall short bill nothing — which is exactly the gap verified counting closes.
| Code | What it covers | Rate | Monthly |
|---|---|---|---|
| 98977 | Device supply, 16 or more days | $51.44 | $2,160 |
| 98979 | Treatment management, first 10–19 min | $26.39 | $1,108 |
| Recurring monthly | $3,269 | ||
| 98975 setup, one time per patient | $912 | ||
That is $77.83 per billable patient per month. Published industry claims often quote higher per-patient numbers; we would rather hand you arithmetic you can reproduce with your own biller than a headline you cannot.
One device code per 30-day window and one management code per calendar month — they are not additive, and 98981 stacks only on 98980. Setup (98975) is billed once per episode of care, not monthly. The management codes also require a live interactive contact with the patient in the month, attested by the clinician.

2 The figures assume enrolled patients clear the monitoring-day threshold. The reason clinics under-bill RTM is that self-attested adherence is hard to defend; SCRENR closes that gap by deriving the record from observed movement.
The revenue is only worth billing if the record survives an audit.
RTM is billed on adherence data. In most home-exercise tools that data is the patient tapping “done” — a self-attestation that reads identically whether or not the session happened. Billing a monitoring code against a number no one measured is where the exposure lives, and it is why the codes have sat unused since 2022.
SCRENR derives the monitoring record from pose estimation running on the patient’s phone camera, on the device. What you bill against is observed movement — per-rep range of motion, timestamps, confidence, form status — not a button press. That is the difference between the revenue above being a liability and being defensible.
