Remote Patient Monitoring

The Remote Patient Monitoring Service combines resources from ADPH Home Health, the Alabama Medicaid Agency, and the University of South Alabama to provide an in-home monitoring service for specific chronic illnesses.

Full Medicaid patients who have congestive heart failure, diabetes, and/or hypertension may qualify for the in-home monitoring program. The PCP provider will determine if the patient needs daily monitoring and will provide the orders for the patient to be admitted to the In-Home Remote Patient Monitoring Program.
