A GREAT NEW PROGRAM FROM
the providers at
Keady family practice
"We are recommending that all our patients participate in the Remote Care Management program. As you use the devices to take frequent measurements at home, the readings are securely transmitted to our office. This simple process enables us to have consistent insight into your health status and make any necessary adjustments to your medical treatment between office visits."
What Is Remote Care Management?
These are quite extraordinary times we are living in. In an effort to help and keep lines of communication open, Keady Family Practice is innovating and adapting to meet your needs. We have already implemented virtual health services such as telemedicine, and now we are excited to announce our latest advancement in patient care through our recent partnership with Remote Care Partners. Keady Family Practice will now be offering Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM). RPM is a valuable tool because it provides you care between office visits with an emphasis on keeping you healthy and out of the hospital.
The way RPM, works is simple. Depending on your clinical needs, monitoring device(s) is(are) sent to you along with a SmartHub. You simply plug in the SmartHub and take a measurement on a device. The device will then transmit your data directly to your provider with each reading you take. This will allow us to better manage your healthcare needs.
While this program is new, the results of active data collection is improving the health and quality of patients nationwide. This information has enabled medical practitioners to adjust medications in ways that have kept patients out of the Emergency Department and Hospital. This will become the standard of care for our practice and become a permanent tool in patient care.
Frequently Asked Question
- The devices are paid for by our practice for your use while on this program.
- Right now due to the pandemic there is no cost to Medicare patients.
- Post Pandemic, Medicare currently covers 80% of the program and leaves the remaining 20% as a patient due coinsurance and if you have a secondary coverage, it should pay.
- Medicare Advantage plans have a co-pay. While the coinsurance averages around eight dollars a month, some cover it all.
- Absolutely not, all these devices come with batteries and are strictly "plug and play”.
- This means that all you need to do is plug in the patented SmartHub, and then take your vitals using the devices sent.
What is done with the readings?
These are used to make medical judgments such as changing of medications, diet, or anything that falls under the realm of your care.
The answer is no, a member of your care team will contact you through text or phone if we need to reach you.
I do ask that you take a reading at least once a day with the goal being at least 16 readings over the course of a calendar month.
