MiCare Path’s CEO, Scott Laster, and CCO, Brian Childress, recently visited the University of Florida in Jacksonville alongside our partners at for an educational in-service with the university’s electrophysiology department.

The session covered the new left bundle branch approach to physiologic pacing and provided an overview of our partnership with BIOTRONIK and the BIOMONITOR IV+ remote physiologic monitoring (RPM) program. Electrophysiology fellows and attending physicians gained hands-on experience with Biotronik’s simulator and explored how MiCare Path’s physiologic monitoring devices complement Biotronik’s loop recorders to extend care beyond the office visit.

Thank you to Christopher D. Clark, Mirela Beganovic, and Malena B. from Biotronik for collaborating with us on this educational opportunity. Thank you to Aditya (Adi) Saini MD, MMM, Director of Electrophysiology and Medical Director of Electrophysiology, Dr. Takumi Yamada, Associate Professor of Medicine, Dr. Jessica Kaczmarek, Assistant Professor of Medicine, and the entire department for welcoming us.

We value partnerships that bring together clinical expertise, innovative cardiac technology, and ongoing patient support to help clinicians stay connected with patients beyond the traditional office visit.

Curious about what the CMS public comments say about the RPM/RTM proposal?

The message is clear: both CMS's peers in government and healthcare as a whole (patients, clinicians, physicians, and systems) are strongly pushing back against proposed changes that could limit patient access to remote patient monitoring and therapeutic monitoring.

Did the parties show up to have their voices heard? Yes.

RPM/RTM ranked as the 2nd most discussed topic overall, for comments focused on a single topic. MiCare Path’s analysis of the CMS 2027 Physician Fee Schedule public comments found nearly 3,000 comments addressing RPM and RTM, despite these services representing just 7 of 487 identified proposed changes.

Did these parties agree with the Proposed Ruling? No.

The opposition numbers are striking:
• 95.1% opposed requiring an initiating visit.
• 91.7% opposed requiring W2 employment for clinical staff.
• 88.2% opposed the proposed reimbursement pricing crosswalks.

And the response extends beyond the open comment period. 32 members of Congress and two U.S. senators have independently urged CMS to reconsider changes that could threaten access, increase administrative burdens, and make these programs harder to sustain.

The concerns go beyond reimbursement. They are about protecting access to care, supporting clinical teams, and ensuring patients can receive the care and support they need between office visits.

The good news is that virtually all parties aligned on the methods needed to tighten clinical and operational processes and ensure the highest-quality, integrated care delivery for these critical medical solutions in the U.S.

CMS is expected to announce its final decision on November 2. will continue advocating for our clinics and patients, working to preserve access to quality care and supporting our partners to the best of our ability, regardless of where the final rule lands.

In a recent conversation with an AdventHealth patient, we received a powerful reminder of how much extended care can matter in a patient’s life.

With no children or family to look out for her, our patient shared how deeply grateful she is for J.D. Flores, her MiCare Path Care Coordinator, and the team that regularly checks in on her. JD’s calls mean more than a routine follow-up. They help her feel that someone genuinely cares about her, that someone is looking out for her, and that she is not alone. She is truly thankful for the support and connection JD provides.

She is also beyond grateful for her nurse, Sandra Sullivan, APRN, who prescribed the program and connected her with this additional layer of care.

Sometimes, knowing someone is there makes all the difference. This is care beyond the office visit.

The past couple of weeks have taken MiCare Path from the classroom to the conference floor to a meeting with our Congressman, with one common thread: building connections that help us extend care beyond the office visit.

At the Northwest Mississippi Community College Nursing/Healthcare Student Career Day, Tori Reeves and Zerlina Carter represented and connected with approximately 380 students preparing for careers as RNs, LPNs, Respiratory Therapists, PTs, and CNAs. Many students were unfamiliar with virtual care as a career opportunity after graduation, giving us the chance to introduce them to a different path in healthcare.

In Nashville, Scott Laster and Corey Patrick attended the 2026 American Podiatric Medical Association Annual Scientific Meeting alongside our strategic partners at Baliston Health. The response to RTM in podiatry was strong, particularly around supporting patients with neuropathy and diabetic foot ulcers while giving practices new opportunities to expand services across their existing patient populations.

And right here in Memphis, Scott Laster and Phelps Dunbar LLP partner John Bobango met with Representative David Kustoff to discuss proposed CMS changes for 2027 and the importance of ensuring small virtual care businesses have a voice in the conversation. While we didn’t have to travel to Washington, DC, we made sure our perspective would be heard there.

Three events. Three different opportunities. One mission: extending care beyond the office visit.

Help us welcome Ethan Burns and Jordan Smith to MiCare Path!

Ethan and Jordan are joining us from the University of Memphis School of Health Sciences for the fall semester, and we’re excited to have them on the team. Over the next few months, they’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at "health digital" and the work that goes into supporting patients beyond the office visit.

They’ll learn to troubleshoot connected devices, organize and manage inventory, encourage patient compliance, and, perhaps most importantly, dive into our ever-present pursuit of improving the patient journey and experience.

And now for the really big news…for the first time since ’s inception, the fellas outnumber the ladies in the office. The dynamic has officially shifted. Enjoy it while you can, Memphis guys! The women of MiCare Path still outnumber the men by about 3 to 1.

Welcome to the team, Ethan and Jordan. We’re so glad you’re here!
