      ​Thank you for your inquiry for CMS165v11, Controlling High Blood Pressure. CMS165v11 does allow for patient reported readings, as long as those readings are taken using an acceptable remote monitoring device. Valid readings may be transmitted directly by the device to the clinician, conveyed to the clinician by the patient, or read from the device by the clinician during an in-person/virtual encounter.

      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. Determining the acceptability, reliability, and validity of a remote monitoring device is left to the discretion of the clinician.

    • Clarification of remote blood pressure monitoring devices technical requirements; how to determine whether a device is acceptable.

      A medical prctice group is asking for clarification, if the patient has a digital home device and reports their BP to us, how do we know whether they have a device capable of transmitting or not?
