Novel uterine contraction monitoring to enable remote, self-administered nonstress testing
Pregnancy care needs innovation. Nuvo delivers.
Pregnancy care today is straining mothers, their families and their providers, while putting an enormous cost burden on payers.
“I’m excited to be able to offer INVU to our patients to reduce some of that burden, help address geographic and socioeconomic inequities, and enable us to maintain high quality care."
- Dr. Blake McLaughlin, Regional Medical Director for Women’s Health for Banner Health

Cut in OB-ED Visits via Remote Triage for Fetal Movement
Many OB-ED visits are due to decreased fetal movement or patients that haven’t felt their baby move for an extended period of time. Nuvo has demonstrated the ability to reduce OB-ED visits by enabling clinicians to remotely triage patients before making the trip to the OB-ED.
One Nuvo customer has reported that 100% of patients who experienced decreased fetal movement were able to avoid a potential trip to the OB-ED by undergoing NST triage from home instead.
Payers are reimbursing under existing CPT code 59025 for NST’s
“In the interest of expanding access to care and improving member outcomes, we are writing today to confirm that CPT Code 59025 is reimbursable with a place of service modifier (12) for at-home monitoring with remote monitoring solutions that are FDA cleared for on-label use for monitoring fetal heart rate (FHR), maternal heart rate (MHR), and Uterine Activity (UA).”
