Course level: Intermediate / Advanced

The CMS CY2027 Physician Fee Schedule rule includes timely updates to Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) delivery models and payment adjustments. This workshop bridges the knowledge gap between regulatory compliance and financial sustainability. Participants will evaluate strategic options for sustainable RTM operational models in our 3rd-party payer environment, as well as explore emerging models for RTM in non-Fee-For-Service (non-FFS), cash-supported hybrid pathways. Physical therapy clinic owners and administrators will be exposed to designs of value-driven care packages, feel more confident in execution of seamless clinical workflows, implement effective patient messaging, and structure compliant vendor/contractor agreements. By aligning modern digital health tools with direct-to-consumer value propositions, practices can mitigate payment decline, improve access to care, and unlock sustainable revenue streams.

Immediate Take-Home Value: Participants will receive timely regulatory updates to ensure RTM compliance, as well as emerging frameworks for non-FFS hybrid care packages that leverage RTM, complete with pricing model considerations, patient communication scripts, and vendor agreement contracting templates.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

1. Analyze the impact of the finalized CMS CY2027 Physician Fee Schedule in relation to RTM regulations.
2. Evaluate, differentiate, and select operational pathways of RTM delivery in the 3rd-party payer and non-FFS programs to maintain patient engagement, optimize outcomes, decrease provider burden, and ensure sustainable financial viability.
3. Design and implement a non-FFS RTM-supported care package, patient communication workflows, and compliant 3rd-party vendor agreement frameworks
