Remote Patient Monitoring is a $500 million market — and the Office of Inspector General is watching closely.
Medicare is moving toward connected, ongoing care models with one hand — and tightening compliance enforcement around concierge-style practices with the other. Attorney Jim Eischen breaks down what that means for your practice right now. Unlike CCM, which has seen slower traction, RPM adoption has been swift and widespread. The Office of Inspector General (OIG) has expressed concerns in recent reports, but this very scrutiny highlights the scale of adoption and the significant investment in ongoing monitoring that the U.S. healthcare system has never truly embraced before. 📑 Source: OIG RPM Report, 2025 (View: https://oig.hhs.gov/reports/all/2025/billing-for-remote-patient-monitoring/) In addition, the April 2025 OIG report marked the fourth prosecution in U.S. history related to cash-based healthcare models. This case provides perhaps the clearest signal yet from OIG that traditional concierge-style marketing—emphasizing same- or next-day access, extended visits, care coordination, and direct physician communication—is not compliant with Medicare assignment rules unless it is paired with proper, routine exam structuring. FOR ADDITIONAL REFERENCE and LEARNING, here is the 4th OIG alert in US history: https://oig.hhs.gov/fraud/enforcement/greenfield-health-system-agreed-to-pay-286000-for-allegedly-violating-the-civil-monetary-penalties-law-by-requesting-payment-from-beneficiaries-in-violation-of-an-assignment-agreement/ About Our Guest James Eischen, Esq (Jim Eischen) is a licensed California attorney with over 32 years of experience handling complex corporate, business planning, and real estate matters. He received his J.D. from the University of California at Davis in 1987, and his B.A. from Creighton University in 1984. Mr. Eischen is recognized nationally for compliance experience regarding complex corporate business planning and transactions. As a speaker at conferences throughout the US, he addresses data privacy, regulatory business planning problem-solving, and start-up innovation monetization. Mr. Eischen's broad complex business planning experience includes life science/start-up enterprise regulatory support and structuring corporate practice of medicine business modeling. He advises business enterprises in matters connected to reimbursement, contracts, interdisciplinary employment and labor issues, and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance.

Why Concierge Medicine Practices Are Selling — and What to Know Before Yours Does
Most concierge physicians will go through a practice sale or major partnership transaction exactly once — and most have never done it before. This episode is the preparation most physicians never get. By Dana Jacoby and Gary Herschman[1] Over the last several years there has been a growing trend of consolidation and partnership transactions involving concierge medicine practices.[2] Download this article as a PDF LISTEN TO OUR EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW (Podcast) The purpose of this article is both: (A) to educate concierge medicine physicians on why concierge medicine practices have been transacting with increasing frequency; and (B) to provide practical recommendations for owners of concierge medicine practices who are exploring the possibility of entering into such a transaction. Why Are There So Many Concierge Medicine Practice Transactions? We hope that these practical recommendations are helpful both: (i) if you decide to explore the universe of potential strategic options that may be available for your practice, and (ii) in the event that you decide to pursue a partnership transaction to achieve your long-term professional and financial goals and for your practice's long-term success.

Only a small percentage of Health Savings Account owners will take advantage of this opportunity initially
Only a small percentage of Health Savings Account owners will take advantage of this opportunity initially, but the number may grow in the future when HSA-qualified plan enrollees realize how cost certainty for primary care, a focus on maintaining health, and assistance in navigating other care based on price and quality dovetail with their financial and medical goals. By William G. (Bill) Stuart | July 3, 2025 The Senate finished its version of the reconciliation bill and sent it to the next step in the legislative process. Which Health Savings Account provisions survived the upper chamber? The Senate has been busy for nearly a month since the House of Representatives sent a reconciliation bill to the upper chamber for review. A reconciliation bill is particularly important because it can pass the Senate with 51 (of 100 or 101) votes. In contrast, all other bills must have a 60-vote majority if the minority demands that standard. RELATED INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE AND INSIGHTS October 16-18, 2025 Industry's Annual Conference The House bill contained 10 provisions to expand or enhance Health Savings Accounts. Of the 10, only two survived the final Senate vote of 51-50 earlier this week. In addition, the Senate added a topic that was not addressed by the House. Here are the Health Savings Account provisions in the Senate-approved bill: READ FULL ARTICLE ON LINKEDIN ...
