Objective:

To guide optometrists on adopting remote monitoring technologies and navigating new CPT codes while ensuring compliance with CMS guidelines.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Education on device use is crucial for accurate data collection.
    • Connected devices must transmit at least 2 readings every 30 days for effective monitoring.
    • Remote monitoring can enhance patient management and reduce in-person visits.
    Interpretation:

    Remote monitoring technologies can improve patient care in optometry, but proper understanding and compliance with CMS guidelines are essential.

    Limitations:
    • Currently, limited instances exist where optometry can fully meet remote monitoring requirements.
    • Only a few devices provide therapeutic feedback suitable for optometric practices.
    Conclusion:

    Remote monitoring offers convenience for patients and better management insights for optometrists.
