CMS 2027 Proposed Changes - What It Means for Your Patients and How to Make Your Voice Heard

On July 14, 2026, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services proposed a rule that would ban third-party companies from delivering Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) services billed to Medicare.

If finalized, practices that rely on vendor-supported RPM — including small, rural, and understaffed clinics — would lose the monitoring programs their patients depend on. The comment period closes September 14, 2026.

PHYSICIAN
Dr. James C., MD
"I run a 4-physician primary care practice in rural Georgia. I cannot hire a full-time monitoring team. My RPM vendor handles the technology, the devices, and the daily monitoring so my nurses can focus on patients in the office."
— Dr. James C., MD Family Medicine, Vidalia, GA
PATIENT
Maria
"My nurse calls me every week and checks my blood pressure from home. She caught a problem before I ended up in the hospital. Without this program, I don't know what I'd do."
— Maria COPD
