Remote Patient Monitoring
Our practice has partnered with Nsight Health to help improve care between appointments.
Nsight Health provides remote patient monitoring and care coordination services that allow our team to stay connected with patients at home, not just during office visits.
Through daily vital monitoring, monthly check-in calls, and 24/7 clinical availability, patients receive ongoing care support while your provider stays informed
How the Partnership Works
By combining the local expertise of Midwest Nephrology with Nsight’s advanced monitoring technology, we’ve created an oversight plan for your care.
1. Prescription for Care: Your provider at Midwest Nephrology determines if RPM is right for your condition (such as hypertension, diabetes, or heart health)
2. Smart Devices: You will receive easy-to-use medical devices (like a blood pressure cuff) that work right out of the box—no Wi-Fi or complicated setup required.
3. Proactive Monitoring: As you take your readings at home, the data is shared instantly with Nsight’s 24/7 clinical team and integrated into your records at Midwest Nephrology.
4. Clinical Intervention: If your readings are outside of your target range, a nurse will reach out to check on you and coordinate directly with your Midwest Nephrology provider if a change in treatment is needed.
Benefits for Our Patients
Direct Connection: Your provider at Midwest Nephrology sees the same data the monitoring team sees, leading to more informed office visits.
Early Detection: We can catch potential health issues days or weeks before they become emergencies.
Support Between Visits: You are no longer “on your own” between appointments; a clinical team is always just a phone call away.
Ease of Use: Most devices use 4G cellular technology, meaning you don’t need a smartphone or internet connection to participate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this covered by insurance?
Yes. There is a monthly charge and Medicare and most private insurance plans recognize the value of this partnership and cover the RPM service to help prevent hospitalizations. There may be a copay assigned. If you have concerns about your out of pocket costs, please let us know.
Do I have to come into the office more often?
Actually, the goal is the opposite! By monitoring you remotely, we can often manage your health effectively from home, potentially reducing the need for urgent “sick” visits.
Is my information private?
Your privacy is our top priority. All data transmitted between Nsight and Midwest Nephrology is fully encrypted and HIPAA-compliant.
