Gastroenterology and Bariatrics Patient Monitoring

The health effects and risks associated with being overweight and obese are significant. Patients who have obesity, compared to those at what is considered a normal or healthy weight, are at increased risk for serious diseases and health conditions, such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, many types of cancer, and clinical depression. Obese patients also face elevated risk of mortality. One widely cited study showed that obesity and extreme obesity have the potential to reduce life expectancy by up to eight years and deprive adults of as much as 19 years of healthy life.

With Prevounce Gastroenterology and Bariatrics Monitoring, practitioners can help their patients make the lifestyle and behavior changes necessary for effective weight loss and management while also generating generous, consistent reimbursement.

Patient Applications for Gastroenterology and Bariatrics Patient Monitoring

The most significant applications for gastroenterology and bariatrics patient monitoring are:
1

Medical weight loss

Weight management programs that target the root causes of obesity and weight gain have been proven to help patients decrease and keep off weight, reducing the risks of chronic diseases and achieving improvements in blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood sugars. Practitioners who incorporate remote patient monitoring into their medical weight loss programs put themselves in a better position to help patients achieve weight-loss goals. RPM provides practitioners with the ability to monitor and track weight, helping better hold patients accountable to mutually agreed upon short- and long-term outcome goals, identifying changes in weight that may warrant revisions to a medical weight loss plan, and better engaging patients in their weight management programs.

Post-surgical weight management

Despite being an effective tool to combat obesity, bariatric bypass surgery is no magic solution on its own. Many patients gain back some of the weight that they hoped to lose when choosing to undergo surgery, such as gastric bypass and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy. With remote patient monitoring, practitioners can better help patients who undergo weight-loss surgery reduce the likelihood of postoperative weight regain. RPM allows practitioners to quickly recognize and act upon notable upticks in patient weight before any weight gained becomes more difficult to reverse. RPM also helps patients adhere to the lifestyle, dietary, and exercise guidelines necessary to maximize the benefits of weight-loss surgery.

Healthy Patients Gastro and Bariatrics RPM

Healthier Patients

Providing gastroenterology and bariatrics RPM services is an efficient and effective way of making a significant difference in your patients' health and wellness. RPM helps gastroenterology and bariatrics patients become more active participants in their health, removes barriers to care, reduces costs, and permits practitioners to make more timely and better informed decisions that reduce risk and improve outcomes.

Increased Revenue Gastroenterology and Bariatrics Patient Monitoring

Significant Revenue

The clinical value of remote patient monitoring is reason enough to add the service. The financial value makes it even more worthwhile. RPM is now one of the higher-paying Medicare care management programs. Thanks to major revisions to coding and billing rules, RPM generates about $120 in Medicare reimbursement per patient every month they are enrolled. If you enroll just 75 patients in your RPM program, that will generate your practice more than $100,000 in annual Medicare reimbursement. RPM is an effective means for gastroenterologists and bariatricians to generate supplemental, non-visit revenue.
