If you run a primary care group, an ACO, or a Medicare Advantage plan, you’ve felt the tension: chronic disease is eating your day alive, but the “visit-based” system still rewards you for the moment, not the month.The 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) changes don’t magically fix that. But they do something important: they reinforce that CMS is not treating remote care like a side quest.

I'm the CTO at Welby Health, where we build technology for Remote Patient Monitoring and Chronic Care Management. Over the past year, we've built Markus, an internal AI assistant that helps our nurses and clinical staff with everything from patient lookups to workflow automation. Markus connects to our EHR, BigQuery, Looker, HubSpot, and a dozen other systems via MCP servers.

The 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule (PFS) final rule dropped — and it’s not just another annual update. CMS is shifting how value is rewarded, how care management is reimbursed, and what operational plays practices must master to stay financially healthy in 2026 and beyond.

Healthcare struggles because time is fragmented across too many systems that do not talk to each other. Point blank. At Welby, we stopped trying to optimize around that reality. We built something new instead. Markus OS.

The updates sharpen the structure of Chronic Care Management (CCM), expand flexibility in Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM), and accelerate the shift toward comprehensive, proactive, team-based care.

By outsourcing patient engagement to a third-party provider, medical practices can free up their staff to focus on other tasks, such as providing direct patient care.

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) and chronic care management (CCM) are two innovative healthcare programs that can help improve patient outcomes while reducing costs for providers. However, setting up and managing these programs internally can be time-consuming and challenging.

Integrating Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM) services into your physician practice can significantly enhance patient care and improve outcomes for those with chronic conditions. By understanding the process of billing for RPM and CCM codes, you can ensure your practice receives the rightful reimbursement while providing your patients with the highest level of care.

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a chronic condition affecting millions worldwide. Left untreated, it can lead to serious health complications like heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure. Care coordination is critical in managing hypertension and improving patient outcomes.

Care coordination programs have become increasingly important for physicians as they aim to improve the overall health outcomes for their patients.

60% of Americans have at least one incurable disease, and approximately 90% of all healthcare expenditures are spent managing chronic symptoms – nearly $3.7 trillion. Medicare and Medicaid debuted chronic care management (CCM) in 2015 to reduce ambulatory care through proactive monitoring.

Most telehealth platforms and providers pitch remote patient monitoring (RPM) as a ‘silver bullet’ for the healthcare industry. Adoption has been swift and there are hundreds of virtual care startups to choose from.

With digital transformation comes a growing need to adapt. Healthcare providers are no exception. For physicians, this means considering a number of new and innovative clinical best practices—among them remote patient monitoring (RPM).
