Propeller Health (acquired by ResMed in 2018) is the market leader in respiratory RPM, deploying FDA-cleared sensor-based inhaler tracking for COPD and asthma. Clinical studies show a 63% reduction in COPD exacerbations and 57% reduction in asthma rescue inhaler use. Integrates with Epic and supports value-based COPD bundled payment programs, payer partnerships, and employer wellness programs focused on respiratory disease management.
Rimidi provides an EHR-native chronic disease management platform that integrates RPM data directly into Epic and athenahealth workflows using FHIR R4. Clinicians review alerts, manage patient populations, and document care entirely within their existing EHR — zero workflow disruption. Rimidi's diabetes management program has demonstrated A1c improvements of 1.5+ points in peer-reviewed clinical studies, making it a top choice for endocrinology and primary care groups.
Cadence delivers a full-service RPM model that combines proprietary monitoring technology with dedicated clinical care teams — nurses and health coaches managing patients between visits. Health systems partner with Cadence to launch RPM programs without building clinical operations from scratch. The model covers hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, and COPD, with outcomes-based contracts aligned to value-based care goals. Particularly suited for health systems moving into risk-based payment models.

Expert answers to the most common questions healthcare organizations ask before selecting an RPM platform.
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) uses digital devices to collect patient health data outside clinical settings — at home or anywhere — and transmit it to providers for review and intervention. Patients use FDA-cleared medical devices (blood pressure monitors, pulse oximeters, glucometers, wearables) to capture vitals that flow via cellular or Bluetooth to the RPM platform.
The software applies clinical alert rules, surfaces exceptions for clinician review, and writes readings into the patient's EHR. CMS reimburses RPM under CPT codes 99453, 99454, 99457, and 99458 for Medicare patients with chronic conditions, requiring at least 16 days of data per 30-day period and minimum 20 minutes of clinical staff time monthly.
Yes. CMS established permanent RPM reimbursement codes active in 2026: CPT 99453 (device setup, ~$19 once); CPT 99454 (device supply per 30-day period, ~$48); CPT 99457 (first 20 minutes of interactive communication monthly, ~$51); CPT 99458 (each additional 20 minutes, ~$41).
Key 2024–2026 updates: clinical staff (not only physicians) can fulfill monitoring time, and audio-only interaction counts toward 99457. 45+ states now reimburse RPM under Medicaid, though rates vary. Most qualified RPM platforms include automated CMS billing workflow to ensure compliant code capture.
Leading RPM platforms support a broad device ecosystem. Blood pressure monitors (Withings, Omron, iHealth) are the most deployed. Pulse oximeters cover COPD and heart failure. Continuous glucose monitors (Dexcom, Abbott Libre) and glucometers serve diabetes. Weight scales track fluid retention in heart failure. ECG patches, spirometers, and thermometers cover specialty conditions.
Enterprise connectivity platforms like Validic aggregate 500+ devices into a single API. Turnkey vendors like HRS and AMC Health ship pre-configured cellular devices requiring no patient WiFi or smartphone — critical for elderly and low-income patient populations.
Integration depth is the most important RPM selection criterion. The gold standard: RPM readings delivered as FHIR R4 Observation resources directly into discrete EHR fields — clinicians review alerts and act without leaving Epic. Platforms like Rimidi and Validic Inform operate natively inside Epic via SMART on FHIR and Epic App Orchard certification.
Mid-tier vendors push structured data via HL7 interfaces. Lower-tier vendors operate in a separate portal requiring manual EHR documentation. Before signing a contract, ask: Does it write to discrete fields or PDFs? Can clinicians manage RPM alerts within Epic? Does it support Epic Haiku mobile access? Does it auto-document clinical time for CPT 99457?
RPM (CPT 99453–99458) uses physiologic device data — blood pressure, oxygen, glucose — for chronic disease management. Telehealth covers synchronous audio/video visits billed under E&M codes — complementary to RPM, not a substitute. Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM), established by CMS in 2022 under CPT 98975–98981, covers non-physiologic data like pain levels and therapy adherence.
RTM is reimbursable by physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists — not only physicians. A complete chronic care digital program may combine all three: RPM for vitals, RTM for therapy adherence, and telehealth for care coordination — each billed under its own code set.
Seven criteria define RPM vendor quality: Device breadth — FDA-cleared cellular devices that don't require patient WiFi or smartphone. EHR integration depth — FHIR R4 delivery into discrete fields, not portal logins. Alert workflow design — customizable thresholds, intelligent routing, alarm fatigue mitigation. CMS billing automation — auto-tracking of CPT 99453–99458 eligibility and audit-ready documentation.
Clinical outcomes evidence — peer-reviewed publications, not just case studies. Implementation timeline — what is time from contract to first enrolled patient? Patient accessibility — multilingual app support, no-smartphone options, and 24/7 device support for elderly populations.
Costs vary by model. Software-only subscriptions for outpatient practices: $5–$15 per enrolled patient per month, plus device costs of $80–$200 per device upfront or $15–$35/month under device-as-a-service. Full-service models (with clinical monitoring teams): $40–$80 per enrolled patient per month — but covering all staffing, devices, and monitoring.
Enterprise health system deployments (1,000+ patients, Epic integration): $150K–$750K annually. EHR integration development adds $25K–$100K if not pre-built. ROI perspective: 300 hypertensive Medicare patients enrolled generating ~$99/month in CPT 99457 reimbursement covers software costs within 60–90 days of full enrollment. Most vendors provide pro forma ROI projections based on your payer mix.
TechRadiant ranks RPM software companies across five criteria with no paid placements: Device compatibility breadth (medical-grade cellular support, no-smartphone options, wearable integrations); EHR integration depth (FHIR R4, Epic App Orchard certification, SMART on FHIR); Clinical outcomes evidence (peer-reviewed studies, verifiable readmission and A1c data); CMS billing automation (CPT 99453–99458 tracking, documentation, audit-ready reporting); and Patient engagement quality (app usability, multilingual support, low-friction device experience).
