Young patients with diabetes need more than quarterly check-ins.

Type 1 and early-onset Type 2 diabetes in children require close monitoring between visits. RPM gives pediatric practices continuous visibility into glucose trendsand billable documentation for the oversight these patients demand.

Pediatrics RPM Questions

Can pediatric practices bill RPM for children with diabetes?
Yes. RPM billing applies to patients of any age with a qualifying chronic condition. Both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes qualify. The same CPT codes (99457, 99458) apply. Parental consent is required for minors.
How does RPM work with school-age children?
CGM devices transmit data automatically throughout the school day. Your team reviews the data and coordinates with parents during the monthly call. No action is needed from the child during school hours.
Is parental involvement required for RPM calls?
For minors, a parent or legal guardian should participate in the monthly interactive contact. This actually improves compliance and gives you an opportunity to reinforce dietary and medication adherence with the family.
What about adolescents with new-onset Type 2 diabetes?
Adolescent Type 2 diabetes is rising rapidly and often accompanies obesity and metabolic syndrome. RPM provides structured monitoring during the critical early management period when medication titration and lifestyle changes have the most impact.
