  1. Under the 2020 Coronavirus preparedness legislation and subsequent CMS waivers, which of the following telehealth restrictions was temporarily lifted for Medicare beneficiaries?

    Answer: Audio-only visits became reimbursable for a broader range of services

    CMS waivers during the COVID-19 public health emergency allowed audio-only visits to be reimbursed for a much wider range of services than previously permitted.

  2. A care coordinator notices a patient's RPM blood pressure readings have been consistently above 160/100 mmHg for five days. What is the FIRST action the coordinator should take?

    Answer: Contact the supervising clinician immediately per the escalation protocol

    Sustained severely elevated blood pressure readings require prompt clinician notification per established escalation protocols to prevent adverse events.

  3. Which of the following chronic conditions has the STRONGEST evidence base supporting use of RPM to reduce hospitalizations?

    Answer: Heart failure

    Heart failure has the strongest evidence base for RPM, with multiple studies demonstrating reductions in hospital readmissions through daily weight and symptom monitoring.

  4. In telehealth, 'asynchronous communication' is best described as:

    Answer: Transmission of patient data or messages reviewed by the clinician at a later time

    Asynchronous (store-and-forward) communication involves data, images, or messages sent by the patient and reviewed by the clinician at a different time.

  5. Which federal law primarily governs patient privacy in the context of RPM data transmission and storage?

    Answer: HIPAA

    HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) governs the privacy and security of protected health information, including RPM-generated data.

  6. A patient with type 2 diabetes is using a connected glucometer for RPM. The physician wants to bill for the device supply. Which CPT code is used monthly for the supply of the RPM device and ongoing data transmission?

    Answer: 99454

    CPT 99454 is billed monthly for the supply of the remote monitoring device and the transmission of the collected data to the clinician.

  7. What is a key workflow consideration when integrating RPM data into an EHR for a patient panel of 200 patients?

    Answer: Automated alert thresholds and triage rules must be established to prioritize actionable data

    For large panels, structured alert thresholds and care team triage workflows are essential to ensure clinically significant data is acted upon without overwhelming clinicians.
