Cardiology RPM & CCM Automation That Actually Bills
Stack 99457, 99458, 99490, and 99491 cleanly. Every qualifying touch logged, every threshold surfaced, every claim defensible.
Where cardiology practices leave RPM & CCM money on the table
Most cardiology groups are billing half of what they could. The revenue is there in CMS's books; the problem is the time tracking, the care-plan documentation, and the threshold surveillance.
Your clinical staff are doing the work — reviewing device data, calling patients, adjusting meds — and nobody is logging the minutes against the 20-minute threshold.
The second and third 20-minute units are pure margin, but if nobody sees the month's running tally, they disappear.
You can bill both for the same patient. Most practices do not, because their documentation can't prove the time was separate.
99490 requires a comprehensive care plan. In most practices it is an outdated PDF from 2022. Auditable? No.
Biotronik, Medtronic CareLink, Boston Scientific Latitude — three portals, three logins, zero integration into your EHR billing flow.
When CMS comes asking for time logs, signed care plans, and consent, most practices cannot produce them cleanly for 200 enrolled patients.
How SynergyIQ solves it
Four concrete builds for cardiology practices stacking RPM and CCM revenue.
RPM time-tracking engine
Every qualifying clinical touch — alert review, patient call, med adjustment, device calibration — logged automatically against the patient. Real-time 99457 / 99458 threshold dashboards for clinical staff and billers.
CCM care-plan automation
Structured care plans per patient, versioned and signed, with disease-specific templates for CHF, AFib, CAD, and HTN. 99490 / 99491 time logs kept cleanly separate from RPM time.
Cardiac monitoring integration
Pull readings and alerts from Biotronik, Medtronic, Boston Scientific, iRhythm, and BioTel into a single review queue. EHR notes drafted automatically with ICD-10, vitals, and device context.
Stacked-revenue billing pipeline
Monthly claims packaged with full time-log evidence, signed care plans, and consent on file. CCM + RPM co-billing with defensible separation between the two time streams.
Why a custom layer beats a bundled RPM platform
Bundled RPM vendors sell you the device, the cloud portal, and a revenue share. You give up 30–50% of the CMS reimbursement and you still do not get a single integrated record that ties RPM time, CCM time, device alerts, and care-plan signatures together.
SynergyIQ builds the automation you own. We read from your monitoring vendors and your EHR, log every qualifying minute, maintain the care plans, and hand the billing team a claim-ready packet every month. You keep 100% of the CMS reimbursement.

Frequently asked questions
Can we bill CCM and RPM for the same patient?
Yes. CMS allows it, provided the time is tracked separately and the documentation supports both services. Our automation keeps the two time logs disjoint.
How does 99457 and 99458 time tracking work?
99457 pays for the first 20 minutes of RPM treatment-management time per calendar month; 99458 pays for each additional 20 minutes, up to two units. We log every qualifying touch against the patient and surface threshold crossings.
Do you replace our cardiac monitoring vendor?
No. We integrate with your existing RPM device vendor and your EHR. The automation sits on top.
Is this HIPAA compliant?
Yes. BAAs, encrypted transport and storage, role-based access, full audit trails on every clinical touch logged.
Do you serve cardiology practices outside Richmond, TX?
Yes. Sugar Land, Katy, Missouri City, Pearland, Stafford, Houston, and Fort Bend County. Most builds are delivered remotely.
