Leadership Corner: Understanding How Remote Care Works

Ascent Care Partners’ Leadership Corner is a dedicated space featuring a series of short video clips discussing specific issues on remote care, particularly, Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM), and the benefits they provide to both physicians and patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Chronic Care Management (CCM) – assessments of multiple touchpoints in-between office visits including adherence to medications, keeping appointments with specialists, continuous patient education, and overall compliance to care plans.
  • Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) – collects real-time data to assess patient health status.
  • Health & Wellness – focuses on nutritional, emotional, physical, and environmental wellness.
  • Social Determinants of Health – provides social resource support to ensure access and continuity of care.

ACP provides turnkey RPM and CCM solutions, not just software but full service. We set you up and your patients, provide the education and devices, manage your patient care, and prepare the billing. This is a partnership that we offer and we are with you all the way, giving you the assistance you need as you scale up.
ACP only gets a minimal portion from your reimbursements and you get all these in return: a significant revenue stream, fully configured devices with free consumables, a care team at your disposal, and an EHR-integrated software. Think of the costs you have just avoided. Many practices have tried and stopped when they reach their 25th patient because of an increasing overhead they can no longer afford.

Yes. CCM and RPM work well together to optimize patient care and enable opportunities for a deeper clinician-patient relationship. Using RPM in CCM can significantly improve patients’ health conditions. CMS recognizes the two services are complementary so CCM and RPM can be billed concurrently.

ACP Provides you a charge list for all services after the end of one calendar month. You validate the services and submit the charges to Medicare for reimbursement. You generally receive your money within 14 days.

For every Medicare claim, we split the reimbursement with you. You basically benefit financially while we do all the heavy lifting. We also don’t bill you until you’ve filed your claims and our invoices aren’t payable until you’ve received your payment.
  • Any primary care physician and provider who has a minimum of 100 to 500 Medicare beneficiaries with chronic health conditions.
  • Specialty physicians who require real-time tracking of key patient physiological data points.
  • Health systems with employed physicians who meet the above criteria.
  • Extra cash flow with RPM/CCM billable services, we help you to generate quick and clean Medicare claims.
  • Seamless EHR integration with no disruption to your workflows, while adding productivity to your practice and making a positive contribution to your MIPS scores.
  • RPM devices that are fully configured and ready to use.
  • Highly trained clinical team serving as an extension of your care team.
Ascent Care Partners was established in 2018; our four founders have a combined 125 years of healthcare experience with a focus on delivering exceptional patient care.
The company headquarters is located in Houston, Texas, but we are a 100% virtual company. Our employees work from their home offices and reside in several states.

We partner with primary care physicians and multi-specialty practices to optimize their patient care and create much-needed revenues from billable services like RPM and CCM.

We incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into our programs to ensure the best monitoring care possible. Our AI reminds patients when measurements are not taken. We also employ Predictive Population Health Management (PHM) analytics to instantly alert the clinical team when pre-set thresholds are crossed.
We enable patients to play an active role in managing their conditions through patient-acquired vital signs that give them control and immediate update on their developments. Evidence shows that when patient engagement is high, positive health outcomes also increase.
Our devices have integrated cellular capabilities and automatically transmit data without user intervention. We provide glucometers with free lancet strips, blood pressure devices, and weight scales. All of our devices require no passwords, wi-fi connections, complicated instructions, and best of all, operate anywhere there is a cellular signal.

It depends on how many Medicare patients are eligible for these services. RPM and CCM are billable in the same month which makes doing the right thing for your patients even more valuable. For example, with 300 enrolled patients, you will likely earn a monthly revenue of $14,082 or $168,984 annually. This amounts to free cash flow for the practice (i.e. after all expenses have been paid).

There are no upfront charges or equipment to purchase. ACP gets paid by the practice after they receive their payment from CMS. This program is a zero-risk opportunity for the practice.
We simply need access to your EHR and have to obtain your patient’s consent. We will ship the equipment free of charge and start collecting the data. We will provide the monthly reporting and offer you billing advice on your Medicare reimbursements so you can start generating a new revenue stream.

We understand physician practice because we are a physician-led company. We provide you with all the needed assets from the onset like our professional care coaches, state-of-the-art equipment, and the latest technologies.

  • To avoid the cost of purchasing new device, training your staff or hiring an IT team to manage your new applications.
  • To avoid disruptions to your day-to-day operations with a new system that may not be compatible with your existing one.
  • To obtain sound billing advice from those who know the intricacies of regulatory compliance.
  • So you can efficiently focus on your core competency minus the hassle of additional administrative responsibilities.

With ACP, our solutions are simple to integrate, our technology delivers accurate data, and our clinical team truly cares as you do.

  • Customized programs that can be easily scaled up or down depending on the needs of your practice.
  • Superb documentation capabilities to keep track of time spent with every patient.
  • Extensive experience in generating billing reports.
  • A White Glove setup covering patient outreach, education, and enrollment.
  • Bilingual care coaches.
  • 24/7 call center to monitor and assess patients.
We use a cloud-based data storage that has robust security like multiple data encryption capabilities to ensure your patients privacy and for you to remain HIPAA compliant. Patient’s data is encrypted from where it’s stored, at any device, and when it is transmitted.
