A physician expert discusses changes in RPM policy and reimbursement.
United Healthcare has grown to become a giant across the U.S. health care system. So when that company calls remote patient monitoring “unproven and not medically necessary due to insufficient evidence of efficacy” for a number of chronic conditions, industry watchers take notice. Lucienne Marie Ide, M.D., Ph.D., is founder and CEO of Rimidi, a company that operates remote patient monitoring and chronic care management systems. Here she discusses the ramifications of that policy.
Editor’s note: This conversation took place after United Healthcare announced its 2026 coverage rationale in fall 2025, but before United Healthcare announced in December 2025 that it “instead will implement the policy later in 2026.”
