Your Medicare covers a free health monitoring device
Blood pressure cuff, glucometer, digital scale — shipped to your home. A clinical team watches your results. If something looks off, we call you. Most patients pay $0.
Eligibility: Medicare member with one or more chronic condition (e.g. high BP).
Medicare covers remote monitoring devices for eligible members. Although copays and deductibles may apply most patients pay $0 out of pocket.
What happens between doctor visits is where things go wrong.
Most chronic conditions — high blood pressure, diabetes, heart failure — don’t announce themselves. They shift slowly, and by the time your next appointment rolls around, a small change has become a bigger problem.
Remote patient monitoring closes that gap. Your device transmits readings directly to Pod Health’s clinical team. We watch what happens day to day.
If your blood pressure climbs, or your weight jumps overnight, which can signal fluid buildup around the lungs, we see it and we reach out before it becomes an emergency. This isn’t a device on a shelf. It’s a care team watching your numbers.
Conditions we monitor at home
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
Blood pressure readings at home are often more accurate than in a clinical setting. We monitor your daily readings, spot trends, and reach out if something needs attention, without you having to do anything except use your cuff.
Diabetes (Type 1 & Type 2)
Your glucometer sends readings directly to our team. We track patterns over time, coordinate with your doctor when needed, and help you understand what the numbers mean — in plain language, not medical jargon.
Chronic Heart Disease
Daily weight is one of the most important early signals in heart failure management. A sudden increase can mean fluid is building up around the lungs. Our scale catches that fast, often before you feel symptoms.
COPD, Asthma & Respiratory Conditions
Your pulse oximeter tracks blood oxygen levels every day. If your oxygen drops, we see it. For patients managing COPD or asthma, that early warning matters.
Chronic Kidney Disease
Blood pressure and weight monitoring are central to managing CKD. We coordinate with your nephrologist and flag anything that could indicate your kidneys are under additional stress.
Obesity & Metabolic Conditions
Daily weight tracking, combined with regular check-ins from your Pod Health care team, creates accountability and an early warning system, without feeling like you're managing it alone.
