Need for clarifying remote physiologic monitoring reimbursement during the COVID-19 pandemic: a respiratory disease case study

The use of remote monitoring and virtual visits has accelerated to support socially-distanced patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the necessity of this expansion, ambiguity in coding is hindering adoption and patient access, most notably for remote physiologic monitoring due to a lack...
