Oregon Medicaid & Medicare Reimbursement for RPM, CCM & TCM

Use this page as a structured planning reference for Oregon. Medicare code families provide a national baseline; Medicaid program, managed-care, provider-type, and setting rules require state and plan-level verification.

Source audited

Oregon reimbursement source review completed August 31, 2026. Oregon's current 2026 Prioritized List includes RPM treatment and setup codes such as 99453, 99457 and 99458 on numerous covered condition lines, while Excluded Services Guideline E1 specifically lists 99445 and 99454 as excluded because those 30-day monitoring codes do not require medical decision making or patient communication. Oregon therefore should not be modeled as blanket coverage of every Medicare RPM code. Organizations should verify the member's covered condition, current OHP fee schedule, CCO rules, documentation, and any code-specific limits before billing.

Effective/source context: Oregon Health Plan January 1, 2026 Prioritized List, including errata and revisions through August 20, 2026, checked August 31, 2026. Oregon Health Authority - January 1, 2026 Prioritized List of Health Services

What to verify in Oregon

Build the reimbursement picture in layers

01

Medicare baseline

Confirm the applicable physician fee schedule, code descriptors, supervision rules, device/data requirements, time thresholds, and any annual coding changes.

02

Oregon Medicaid program

Review the current fee schedule, provider manual, telehealth or remote-monitoring guidance, eligible provider types, places of service, and billing limitations.

03

Managed care

Do not assume state-level policy equals MCO payment. Verify plan contracts, prior authorization, care-management benefits, alternative payment methods, and value-based arrangements separately.

04

Revenue model

Model payer mix, eligible patient volume, realistic utilization, staffing, device/platform expense, and contract-specific reimbursement only after the policy assumptions are verified.

Verified Medicare baseline

CY 2026 national policy, checked August 30, 2026

CMS finalized CY 2026 Physician Fee Schedule policy effective January 1, 2026. CMS currently describes Medicare RPM as connected-device monitoring for acute or chronic conditions, with digitally uploaded physiologic data and program-specific service requirements. The 2026 RPM code set added CPT 99445 and 99470 for lower-day and lower-time monitoring scenarios.

This Medicare baseline is national. It does not establish Oregon Medicaid or MCO coverage, payment, provider eligibility, or billing rules.

Code families

RPM, CCM, and TCM planning reference

These code families identify the services that should be checked against current Medicare and Oregon Medicaid rules. Inclusion here does not mean every code is payable by every payer or provider type.

Remote Patient Monitoring

99453 · 99454 · 99445 · 99457 · 99458 · 99470 · 99091

Verify device eligibility, data collection/transmission requirements, treatment-management time, interactive communication, supervision, and billing frequency.

Chronic Care Management

99490 · 99439 · 99491 · 99437 · 99487 · 99489

Verify patient eligibility, comprehensive care-plan requirements, qualifying clinical staff time, complexity, add-on logic, consent, and overlapping-service rules.

Transitional Care Management

99495 · 99496

Verify discharge eligibility, interactive contact timing, medical decision-making level, face-to-face visit timing, and payer-specific post-discharge requirements.
