What is Medsense Health

Two Programs Offered

1. Pharmacy Blood Pressure Program

Blood Pressure Monitoring

This program is for eligible Medicare patients with high blood pressure.
You may receive a smart blood pressure monitor to use at home. The monitor can save and send your readings automatically, so your blood pressure can be followed over time.
This can help you and your care team better understand your blood pressure between doctor visits.
What this program may include:
  • A blood pressure monitor sent to your home
  • No Wi-Fi needed
  • No smartphone required
  • Reminders by text or phone call
  • Help from Medsense with setup
  • Monthly support from the pharmacy team

2. Pharmacy RTM Program

Medication Adherence Support

This program is for eligible Medicare patients who may benefit from extra support taking medications regularly.
Medsense may use small sensors, medication containers, a pill organizer, or a smart box to help track when medications are taken. Patients can also receive reminders by text message or phone call.
This can help reduce stress around remembering medications and may help the pharmacy team better support you.
What this program may include:
  • Medication reminders
  • Small sensors for medication containers
  • Support for bottles, pill organizers, inhalers, vials, or packaging
  • No Wi-Fi needed
  • No smartphone required
  • Help from Medsense with setup
  • Monthly support from the pharmacy team

What Happens Next?

If you are interested, Medsense may schedule a short call with a physician.
This call usually takes about 15–20 minutes. It helps confirm that you qualify for the program.
After that, Medsense can help send the equipment to you and walk you through setup.

What Medsense May Ask You

When Medsense calls, they may ask simple questions like:
  • Do you have a blood pressure monitor at home?
  • Do you check your blood pressure?
  • How often do you check it?
  • Do you share your readings with your doctor?
These questions help Medsense understand what support may be helpful for you.

I missed a call or have more questions, who should I contact?

For questions, please contact the Medsense team at 206-472-1030.  If they do not answer, leave a message and a member of the team will call you back.

What if I already have a blood pressure monitor?

That is okay. Medsense may still explain the program because their monitor can save readings over time and may make it easier to review or share readings with your doctor.

Why do I need a short physician call?

The physician call helps confirm that you qualify and that the program is appropriate for you. It usually takes about 15–20 minutes.

Important: Medsense is not for emergencies. If your blood pressure is over 180/120 and you have chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, numbness, vision changes, or trouble speaking, call 911 right away. The American Heart Association gives this same emergency guidance for very high blood pressure with symptoms.
