  "account": "Medicare regulators decided against a plan to ban third-party remote patient monitoring services, despite pushback from healthcare technology companies, hospitals, insurers, and specialty organizations. However, they granted providers a two-year delay to allow them to develop in-house services. Advocates representing vendors, hospitals, and other stakeholders believe this delay could be an opportunity to propose a different approach. Christopher Adamec, a lobbyist for the Remote Monitoring Leadership Council, a coalition of key vendors, emphasized the significance of the two-year period. He stated, \"The story is that we have two years to come up with something better.\" \"My mission here is to find and move forward a value-based payment pathway or some set of guardrails, or some alternative to this.\"",
  "summary": "Medicare pushed forward a controversial plan to ban hospitals from using third parties to deliver remote patient monitoring services, despite overwhelming opposition.",
