As a chiropractor committed to providing the highest level of care, Dr. Smith was determined to find a solution that would enable better patient monitoring and engagement, especially for patients with a history of low adherence to at-home exercise programs.
Dr. Smith faced a significant challenge with a patient who was struggling with lower back issues and had a fear of re-injury.
Traditional home exercise programs (HEP) had to be discontinued due to the patient’s apprehension, and maintaining engagement was difficult.
Dr. Smith needed a way to ensure the patient could safely perform exercises at home while also receiving consistent support and monitoring.
By integrating EMBODI into his practice, Dr. Smith not only improved patient outcomes but also became one of the first chiropractors to be reimbursed for Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) using code 98980.
“EMBODI is a game-changer. It’s like having an extra pair of hands helping you monitor, engage, and retain your patients.”
During a recent interview, Dr. Smith shared how EMBODI has transformed the way they manage patient care and engagement. Below are three powerful ways EMBODI empowered Dr. Smith to deliver better outcomes.
1. It Enhances Patient Monitoring and Communication
Before EMBODI, Dr. Smith struggled to maintain consistent communication with patients, especially between office visits.
Utilizing the RTM code 98980, Dr. Smith was able to closely monitor a patient’s progress remotely, and by reviewing their Home Exercise Program (HEP) through EMBODI, Dr. Smith provided real-time adjustments and guidance, significantly improving patient adherence and outcomes.
“With the help of EMBODI, I was able to monitor her exercises and maintain communication through the app, as if I was there with her during the exercises at home.” – Dr. Smith
2. It Increases Patient Engagement and Adherence
Since implementing EMBODI, Dr. Smith has seen an improvement in patient engagement and adherence.
Patients appreciate the ease of use and the ability to communicate directly with their provider through the app.
This has led to better health outcomes and a stronger patient-provider relationship.
“The feedback from patients has been overwhelmingly positive. It helps see if they’re improving, allows them to communicate with me through the app, and schedule appointments.” – Dr. Smith
3. It Boosts Revenue through RTM
Dr. Smith successfully utilized EMBODI to monitor his patient’s exercises and maintain communication as if he were there during the exercises at home.
This enabled him to adjust exercises, provide guidance between visits, and ultimately get reimbursed for the RTM CPT code 98980, making him one of the first chiropractors to achieve this milestone.
EMBODI not only facilitated better health outcomes but also allowed Dr. Smith to be compensated for delivering excellent remote healthcare.
“I love being a chiropractor and am thrilled to see the profession moving in a positive direction. Knowing that I was one of the first chiropractors to be reimbursed for RTM code 98980 is amazing.” – Dr. Smith
EMBODI has proven to be a vital tool in Dr. Smith’s practice, enhancing patient care and engagement while also opening new financial avenues through RTM.
