The Evolution Of Mobile Health Tech: A Legal And Business Case Study Of Remote Patient Monitoring (Room C208/209)

Remote patient monitoring ("RPM")--the use of digital health technology and devices to monitor and record medical data from patients and electronically transmit the data to healthcare providers for monitoring, assessment, recommendations, and interventions when necessary--is revolutionizing preventive healthcare and its use by both primary care physicians and medical specialists has exploded. However, the provision of RPM services raises complex and evolving regulatory and operational challenges. This program will first focus on health care regulatory compliance requirements, including new developments, such as FDA regulation in the RPM device space; privacy, security, interoperability, and information blocking requirements; Medicare billing rules; and properly structuring arrangements between RPM services providers and physician practices under the fraud and abuse laws.  Next, the program will facilitate a discussion of the challenges and opportunities of standing up and operating a thriving RPM services company and create successful and compliant partnerships.
