In this episode, we sit down with Steven Coen, founder of SaRa Health, to unpack how outpatient rehab can actually use RTM to boost both patient engagement and clinic revenue—without drowning in extra admin work.

Steven cuts through the noise around RTM, debunking the biggest misconceptions and showing what these new CPT codes can (and can't) do for your practice. We talk barriers, best practices, and how smarter tech integration can help you stay connected to patients long after they've left the clinic.

If you've ever wondered whether RTM is worth your time—or how it fits into a fitness-forward, outcomes-driven model—this episode will help you see the opportunity clearly.

In this episode of the MMOA Podcast, Dustin Jones sits down with Dr. Mariana Wingood to cut through the noise and talk about what really drives physical activity in outpatient care. They unpack the barriers we often create as clinicians, the simple strategies that actually get older adults moving, and how tech can be a tool instead of a distraction.

Mariana highlights the power of setting realistic but challenging goals, meeting patients where they are without lowering the bar. This isn't about checking boxes — it's about empowering older adults to own their activity, push past limitations, and build the capacity they need to thrive. Mentioned Links:
