2025 Payment Rates for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), Chronic Care Management (CCM), Principal Care Management (PCM), Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM), and other Virtual Care Programs

CMS released the final rule in early November. Below is a chart that includes the 2025 codes and MAC locality-adjusted reimbursement rates*.

1bios delivers a seamless, turnkey solution for every reimbursable virtual care program—including dual enrollment optimization, in-house engineering, device logistics, and clinical staff support. With a decade of experience managing virtual care for hundreds of thousands of patients, we provide expertise across eligibility, enrollment, device deployment, clinical operations, EHR integration, medical billing/RCM, and compliance.

1bios works directly with hundreds of provider groups large and small -- including technical and clinical specialities in cardiology and long term care. We also continue to be the leader in Value Added Reseller (VAR), referral, and white labeling partnership programs for those interested and able to in bringing RPM, CCM and more to multiple practices and clients.

2025 coding update: The only major coding change for 2025 is the replacement of HCPCS code G0511 with individual CPT codes for Chronic Care Management (CCM) and Principal Care Management (PCM) in Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs). This update aligns RHC and FQHC billing with standard ambulatory practices.

To ease the transition, CMS has introduced a six-month phase-in period: RHCs and FQHCs can continue using G0511 or adopt the new CPT codes through July 1, 2025. After this date, G0511 will no longer be billable.

*We can provide a customized financial analysis for your organization based on your specific MAC rates. Reimbursement typically trends higher in metropolitan areas and lower in rural locations. Contact us to better understand how these rates impact your practice.
