The Challenge of Managing COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease care is a long-term respiratory condition that has affected over 16 million Americans and is likely to remain undiagnosed. Characterized by a progressive shift in lung damage, reduced airflow, and recurring exacerbations, COPD is one of the leading causes of hospitalizations and disability in the U.S.
Which is why we have built a Medicare COPD management program that helps your practice stay connected with patients every single day, not just when they are facing tough times.
Our COPD RPM + CCM Program: Built for Better Breathing
At RPM & CCM Health, we combine respiratory support coaching with the rightly targeted Chronic Care Management to offer a complete and fully manageable care model for COPD and other CCM for respiratory devices.
Clinical Monitoring Includes (For Staff)
- Pulse oximeter readings (oxygen saturation, heart rate)
- Real-time alerts for oxygen desaturation and dangerous trends
- Remote spirometry logging to assess airflow and lung function
- Symptom tracking: cough, breathlessness, chest tightness
- Medication adherence support and data logs
- Daily clinical review of vitals by our credentialed nurses
Lifestyle and Respiratory Support Coaching (For patients)
- Breathing technique education (pursed-lip breathing, diaphragmatic control)
- Nutritional counselling to reduce inflammation and support lung health
- Smoking cessation coaching, if needed
- Home rehab program referrals for qualifying patients
- Patient education materials to reinforce daily habits
Every COPD patient gets a specific COPD pulmonary RPM Program, which is managed and authorized by licensed RNS and dietitians, because we incorporate directly with your existing EHR, everything is written down and monitored, billable, and compliant, without adding any additional work for your staff.

Who Benefits From COPD Remote Monitoring?
Not all COPD patients face the same risks, but some are more prone to an attentive medication and monitoring. Our Medicare-backed program is made for those who struggle with assessing their conditions. From relevant hospital trips to low oxygen levels and medication non-compliance, these patients benefit from the most proactive, remote respiratory care and spirometry remote monitoring.
Our Medicare COPD management program is designed to support patients with:
- Moderate to severe COPD diagnosed by spirometry
- Recent hospitalizations or ER visits due to respiratory distress
- Multiple comorbidities: asthma, heart failure, diabetes, and obesity. Low oxygen levels or irregular use of supplemental oxygen
- Poor compliance with medications or inhaler usage, History of smoking, or exposure to lung irritants
How the COPD RPM Program Works
We’ve made it simple to get started, even if your practice has never offered RPM or CCM before.
Step 1: Identify and Enroll Eligible Patients
We help you find COPD patients within your current panel who qualify under Medicare. Enrollment can be done in-office or remotely.
Step 2: Ship and Activate Monitoring Devices
Each patient receives cellular-enabled pulse oximeters, spirometers, or respiratory wearables. Devices work out of the box, so no Wi-Fi is needed.
Step 3: Begin Daily Monitoring
Data flows automatically into our secure system and your EHR. We review it daily and flag concerning trends in oxygen levels, breathing rate, or symptom reports.
Step 4: Monthly Coaching + Follow-Up
Our team conducts patient education sessions, medication checks, breathing support, and lifestyle coaching. Your staff remains informed, and all documentation is ready for Medicare billing.
Step 5: Modify Care as Needed
Should a flare-up be detected, we help your team coordinate care, make medication adjustments, or refer to rehab before the patient’s condition worsens.
