What does a blood pressure reading mean?
Type in a reading to see where it falls on the American Heart Association's scale. Nothing you type is saved or sent.
Try the example reading above.
The top number (systolic) is the pressure when your heart beats. The bottom number (diastolic) is the pressure between beats. Both are measured in mmHg.
General information based on the American Heart Association's blood pressure categories. It isn't a diagnosis or medical advice. Your own targets come from your clinician.
How to get an accurate reading
- No coffee, exercise or smoking for 30 minutes before.
- Use the bathroom first.
- Sit with your back supported and feet flat on the floor. Rest quietly for 5 minutes.
- Rest your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level.
- Put the cuff on bare skin, not over a sleeve.
- Don't talk while it measures.
- Take two readings, a minute apart.
Same time each day works best. Many people check right after waking, before breakfast and medicine.

Straight answers
What is remote patient monitoring?
You take a reading at home, like your blood pressure, on a monitor we provide. The reading sends itself to your care team. They watch the numbers between doctor visits and call you when something needs attention.
Does Medicare cover remote patient monitoring?
Yes. Original Medicare Part B covers remote patient monitoring when a clinician orders it for a medical condition. Many Medicare Advantage plans cover it too, and we check your plan before you start.
What will it cost me?
Like most Part B services, you pay 20% coinsurance after the yearly Part B deductible. Many supplemental (Medigap) plans pay that 20%. We check your coverage and tell you your cost before you start.
Do I need Wi-Fi, a smartphone or a computer?
No. The monitor has a built-in cellular connection, like a cell phone, so readings send by themselves. There is no app to install and nothing to pair.
What devices do you provide?
Most people get a blood pressure monitor. Depending on your condition, it can also be a glucose meter, a scale or a pulse oximeter. The device is part of the program and comes ready to use.
How often do I take a reading?
Most people take one reading a day. It takes about a minute.
Who looks at my readings?
A nurse practitioner, supervised by a physician, and care staff employed by our practice. They review your readings and call you each month to check in.
What happens if a reading is high?
Your care team is alerted and follows up during business hours. This is not an emergency service. In an emergency, call 911.
Can I keep my own doctor?
Yes. You keep your own doctor. With your permission, we send them updates on your readings.
Can I sign up my mother or father?
Yes, you can help them start. They need to agree to the program themselves, and they take part in a short visit with our nurse practitioner.
Where do you offer the program?
In Virginia, starting with Northern Virginia: Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun and Prince William counties and the City of Alexandria. More states are planned.
Is this the same as a medical alert button?
No. A medical alert button calls for help in an emergency. Remote monitoring tracks your health numbers over time so your care team can spot problems early.
Is my information private?
Yes. We follow HIPAA, the federal health privacy law. Our public website has no advertising trackers, and health information is only collected inside our secure enrollment system.
