I just received correspondence from my Primary Care Physician encouraging me to sign up for a Remote Patient Monitoring program from a company called 100Plus. Under this program, 100Plus will provide you with one or more medical devices (blood pressure cuff, blood glucose monitor, pulse oximeter and digital weight scale). The patient is supposed to use the devices daily and the devices will automatically report back the data to 100Plus and to your doctor. This is apparently targeted at Medicare patients and they say that Medicare will pick up all of the costs of the program.
I looked at the website of 100Plus and it seems to be aimed at health care providers (not to the patient), with emphasis on how they can provide additional revenue to the doctor’s practice. I’m not sure I want to go down this road and have concerns about where my data will go and who will see it.
Has anybody else seen something like this?
