When A1C stops telling the truth, CGM data fills the gap.

Diabetic kidney disease is the leading cause of CKD. As renal function declines, glucose metabolism changes. A1C becomes unreliable and medication dosing shifts. RPM provides the continuous data these patients require.

Why Nephrology practices choose Zayd

Beyond unreliable A1C

Reduced red blood cell lifespan in CKD falsely lowers A1C readings. CGM provides accurate, real-time glucose data that A1C cannot.

Medication dose adjustments

As GFR declines, metformin must be reduced and insulin clearance changes. CGM data guides these adjustments between visits.

Multiple billing opportunities

CKD patients with diabetes may qualify for additional reimbursement codes beyond standard RPM. Zayd identifies and documents each one.

Automated compliance

Transmission tracking, review time logging, and call documentation. No manual tracking required.

Nephrology RPM Questions

Why is A1C unreliable in CKD patients?

CKD shortens red blood cell lifespan, which means A1C underestimates average glucose. Patients may appear well-controlled by A1C while experiencing dangerous glucose variability. CGM captures what A1C misses.

At what CKD stage should I start RPM?

Stage 3 and beyond is where A1C reliability begins to decline and medication adjustments become more frequent. These patients benefit most from continuous glucose monitoring and are excellent RPM candidates.

Can nephrology bill RPM alongside dialysis codes?

RPM billing is separate from dialysis codes. However, coordination is required. Ensure the RPM monitoring time does not overlap with dialysis management time. Consult your billing team for payer-specific rules.
