Medicare delays remote monitoring ban until 2029 to allow providers time
Medicare regulators announced a two-year delay for a controversial plan banning third-party remote patient monitoring services, pushing the implementation date to 2029.
Regulators offer two-year reprieve
Health officials moved forward with a proposal to stop hospitals from using outside companies for remote monitoring. The agency granted providers a two-year window to build their own internal services instead. This delay aims to give the industry time to adjust before the ban takes effect.
Stakeholders seek alternative plans
Advocates representing vendors and hospitals view this period as an opportunity to propose new solutions. Lobbyists are working to establish value-based payment pathways or other regulatory guardrails. Groups hope to find alternatives to the proposed restrictions on third-party delivery.
