AVS Medical has entered into a partnership with 100Plus, the leader in the emerging field of Remote Patient Monitoring or RPM.
For over 20 years AVS Medical has been partnering with leading healthcare technology companies to offer innovative solutions to our independent physician practice clients. Providing leading edge tools, ideas and solutions that allow them to improve patient care, increase practice revenue and stay independent.
As we enter 2021 we’re excited to announce this first of several new partnerships that expand and improve patient care and provide new revenue opportunities for our clients.
What is Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)?
Medicare has long attempted to incentive providers to engage with elderly patients more proactively, versus traditional periodic visits when a patient’s condition has escalated. To drive this initiative forward, Medicare's Remote Patient Monitoring program compensates providers for recommending and reviewing data from products like 100Plus that monitor patients. Remote patient monitoring simply refers to the use of technology to record health data for review by a provider in a different location than the patient. It is a great resource for many physicians caring for patients who are suffering from chronic conditions, are less mobile, are at risk of falling, or are geographically separated from their healthcare providers.
Why 100Plus?
100Plus is the fastest-growing remote patient monitoring platform empowering doctors to manage their chronic patients remotely and proactively engage them to avoid expensive, episodic care and drive a higher quality of life. When a Medicare patient receives a 100Plus medical device, it’s at no cost to them, fully configured, and ready to use out of the box — no smartphone, app, Bluetooth, or WiFi required. Reduce episodic care and improve patient care by continuously monitoring high-risk seniors in your population.
There are no upfront costs to the practice or patient, devices are shipped directly to patients, fully configured and ready to use. Any consumables such as batteries, glucose strips, and lancets are provided in perpetuity.

The 100Plus Blood Glucose Monitoring System consists of the meter itself, test strips, and control solution. The glucose meter uses a small drop of fresh capillary whole blood placed on the test strip to produce an electrical current which is read by the meter to produce a glucose level reading. The meter displays the result within 5 seconds to your patient and streams that information directly into the practitioner portal so you can review it and analyze it over time to see trends in glucose levels.
