Question:
How do codes 98976 and 98976 differ in reporting from RPM codes?
Answer:
Like RPM, codes 98975 and 98976 are not reported if monitoring is fewer than 16 days. Unlike RPM, data can be self-reported by the patient to the practitioner as opposed to requiring automatic transmission by the device.
