      Thank you for your inquiry for CMS165v11 (2023 Performance Period). The measure allows patient reported data using most methods of digital collection/reporting and prohibits patient reported data taken with non-digital devices, such as with a manual blood pressure cuff and stethoscope. We do not have a list of valid remote monitoring devices for this measure; it would be up to the clinician to determine that the reading, read directly or conveyed by the patient, came from a digital device before documenting it.

    • Unsure if we can use blood pressure readings from a store bought blood pressure machine that the patient is using from home. Need to understand the definition of remote monitoring device.

      We are trying to determine if a blood pressure cuff bought from the store can be used to convey blood pressure readings from the patient to the provider. Or does the device have to be given to the patient from the provider. We understand that a blood pressure taken by the patient with a non digital device such as manual cuff and stethoscope cannot be used.
