The Alliance for Connected Care applauds the House Ways and Means Committee for advancing the bipartisan Rural Patient Monitoring Access Act (H.R. 3108) by a vote of 39-0. The legislation would help address geographic reimbursement disparities that can discourage rural providers from offering this important care.
RPM gives clinicians real-time insight into changes in patients’ health, enabling earlier intervention, preventing avoidable hospitalizations, and expanding access for Medicare beneficiaries managing chronic conditions in areas with limited provider availability.
The Alliance urges the full House to build on the Committee’s unanimous action and pass the legislation.
