Gestational diabetes doesn't end at delivery. RPM monitors what comes next.

Gestational diabetes affects 10% of pregnancies, and women with a history of GDM face 50% lifetime risk of Type 2 diabetes. RPM provides structured postpartum monitoring that catches the transition from gestational to chronic disease.

Why OB-GYN practices choose Zayd

Gestational diabetes monitoring

CGM during pregnancy provides real-time glucose data between OB visits. Critical for insulin dose adjustments and dietary management.

Postpartum screening

50% of women with GDM develop Type 2 diabetes within 10 years. RPM extends monitoring beyond the 6-week postpartum visit.

Revenue during and after pregnancy

RPM codes apply during pregnancy (with a diabetes diagnosis) and during postpartum monitoring when pre-diabetes or Type 2 is diagnosed.

Coordinated care documentation

Share glucose data with MFM and endocrinology. Zayd's documentation supports care coordination across providers.

OB-GYN RPM Questions

Can I bill RPM for gestational diabetes during pregnancy?
Yes, if the patient has a qualifying diagnosis and you're using an FDA-cleared monitoring device. Gestational diabetes (ICD-10 O24.4) qualifies. Check payer-specific rules. Some require a pre-existing diabetes diagnosis for RPM coverage.
When should I start postpartum RPM monitoring?
The ADA recommends glucose screening at 4-12 weeks postpartum for women with GDM. If pre-diabetes or diabetes is diagnosed, RPM can begin immediately. This is when most patients fall out of the healthcare system. RPM keeps them monitored.
How does RPM help with the postpartum follow-up gap?
Only 50% of women with GDM complete postpartum glucose screening. RPM provides a structured reason for ongoing contact, a billable revenue stream, and continuous data that catches early Type 2 conversion.
