Get paid for the monitoring you already do.
Your team already follows up with patients between visits. The reachDr RTM app times the minutes, counts the transmission days and logs the live contact that RTM requires, then shows when each code is ready to bill.
Every requirement, per patient, per month.
- Treatment minutes
A timer on each patient logs review and follow-up time as your team works, and shows the minutes left to the next code.
- Transmission days
Patients check in from a text-message link on their own phone. Days count toward the 2–15 and 16–30 day codes. No app to download.
- Live contact
Calls, texts and video visits are logged, so a code that needs a live interaction isn’t marked ready without one.
The codes we track (2026).
| Code | What it covers | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| 98975 | Set-up and patient education | Once per patient, with consent on record |
| 98985 | Device supply, 2–15 days NEW 2026 | Not billed with 98977 in the same month |
| 98977 | Device supply (musculoskeletal), 16–30 days | Day count reaches 16 |
| 98976 | Device supply (respiratory), 16–30 days | Day count reaches 16 |

What RTM could add each month.
A simple estimate for patients who meet 98977 and 98980 in the same month.
Uses reachDr’s default Medicare fee schedule. Actual payment depends on your MAC, payer mix and how many patients meet each requirement.
Before you start.
Does it replace our EHR?
No. reachDr runs alongside it. Notes export as PDF for your EHR, and billing reports export as CSV for your billing team.
Do patients need an app?
No. Patients check in from a text-message link on their own phone.
How does it hold up in an audit?
Every minute and interaction is time-stamped against the patient and the staff member. Patient consent is recorded, and the practice keeps an audit log of activity.
Who submits the claims?
Your billing team or billing service. reachDr shows which patients are ready for which codes and exports the details they need.
What does it cost?
RTM plans are a monthly subscription, shown when you create an account. If you’d rather talk first, start with a conversation.
