Hypertension Monitoring Program

Using the right blood pressure monitor is crucial for the accuracy needed to make critical decisions about your overall health. A clinically validated monitor can provide more reliable blood pressure readings, which allows you and your care team to make treatment choices confidently. Consistent and reliable tracking with the right monitor also means better control of your blood pressure and a healthier overall future paired with our program for seamless data sharing and timely support.

When deciding which blood pressure monitor is right for you, look for one that is clinically validated for accuracy. Additionally, ensure that the monitor’s features, such as cuff size, fit you and your body properly to ensure a reliable reading. Some blood pressure monitors even offer features such as storage to track your readings, the capability to average readings, and even compatibility with digital platforms for easy tracking and sharing.

While wrist blood pressure monitors might pose as a convenient alternative, upper arm monitors are recommended to be able to provide more accurate blood pressure readings. Readings from wrist monitors tend to be inaccurate and inconsistent due to factors such as wrist position. To make the most of our Hypertension Monitoring Program, we advise using a clinically validated upper arm blood pressure monitor. You can find a list of compatible and clinically validated upper arm monitors on the “Recommended Blood Pressure Monitors” section of this page.

Insurance coverage for blood pressure monitors can vary by patient and medical coverage plan. We recommend asking your insurance provider directly to understand your plan’s coverage. You can inquire if a blood pressure monitor prescribed for a remote monitoring program is covered under your plan.
