Cadence's difference is who does the monitoring. Instead of handing your nurses a dashboard, Cadence staffs the monitoring itself with licensed clinicians working to protocols your physicians approve, escalating to your team when a reading becomes a decision. For a health system that wants RPM outcomes without building a 24-hour monitoring operation, that is the entire proposition.
Price the control you give up. Your patients will mostly speak to Cadence clinicians, your brand rides on their bedside manner, and the contract terms around data, escalation and exit matter accordingly. Systems that have done this diligence tend to be the company's references; systems that wanted software only should look at the platforms further down.
What we like- Employs its own clinical team of advanced practice providers and nurses who monitor patients under your physicians' protocols, built for chronic and higher-acuity post-acute care, with value-based arrangements available, handles devices, logistics, enrolment and escalation as a service rather than selling software alone, designed around health system scale, with cardiology and chronic disease programmes its core
Watch out for- A service model means less direct control than running RPM in-house, pricing is enterprise and unpublished, its clinician-led structure suits systems more than small practices, which pay for depth they may not use, outcome claims are vendor-reported
- Ask for programme data from comparable deployments

Current Health occupies the acute end of this list. Its wearable streams continuous vital signs for patients who would otherwise occupy a hospital bed, and its acquisition by Best Buy Health solved the unglamorous problem that kills home programmes: getting devices installed and working in patients' homes, at national scale, by people whose job is exactly that.
The discipline it demands is clinical. Continuous data without staffed response protocols becomes alarm fatigue, and hospital-at-home economics depend on CMS waiver terms that have been extended in stages rather than settled permanently. Buy Current Health for an acute programme with a clinical command structure; buy a chronic platform below for hypertension panels.
What we like- Built for hospital-at-home and step-down care: continuous wearable monitoring rather than spot readings, FDA-cleared wearable platform for vital signs, with clinical dashboard and alerting for acute teams, now part of Best Buy Health, pairing the platform with Geek Squad style in-home logistics and setup, used by large systems running CMS hospital-at-home waiver programmes
Watch out for- Overpowered and overpriced for simple chronic spot-check programmes, hospital-at-home depends on waiver policy, which buyers must track as rules change, continuous monitoring generates alert volume that requires staffed protocols, device-and-service bundle pricing is opaque

Health Recovery Solutions, usually shortened to HRS, is the post-acute specialist. Its kits go home with discharged patients, its platform is organised around episode timelines and readmission risk, and its buyers are hospitals managing penalties and home health agencies managing episodes. That focus shows in the workflow: everything points at the first 90 days.
Match it to the right job. HRS is not the natural home for a five-year hypertension panel, and its pricing models lean value-based, so finance teams should model both the penalty-avoidance case and the direct billing case before signing. For discharge programmes, it is the name with the deepest specific experience here.
What we like- Purpose-built for post-acute and transitional care: the 30 to 90 day window where readmissions are penalised, tablet-based kits with devices, logistics and patient onboarding handled end to end, clinical services and staffing support available alongside the platform, long track record with hospitals and home health agencies, with strong KLAS recognition in its category
Watch out for- Tablet-kit model suits defined episodes better than open-ended chronic panels, value-based pricing structures need careful comparison against fee-for-service RPM economics, less oriented to physician practices building their own CCM programmes, platform breadth can be more than a small home health agency needs

Vivify organises remote care as pathways: defined programmes per condition that patients step through, with readings, education and check-ins sequenced by the care plan. That structure suits organisations running standardised programmes across large populations, which is why health plans as well as providers buy it.
Its position inside Optum cuts both ways and buyers should simply register it: integration and reach on one side, and on the other, a parent that operates care delivery businesses some buyers compete with. Neither fact decides the purchase; pathway fit does, and Vivify deserves a pilot against your actual post-acute and chronic pathways.
What we like- Pathway-based platform: patients follow condition-specific remote care plans with scheduled readings and questionnaires, serves both providers and health plans, including value-based and Medicare Advantage programmes, kit and bring-your-own-device options, with logistics support, part of the wider Optum ecosystem, giving it payer-side reach
Watch out for- Pathway model fits structured programmes better than free-form chronic monitoring, Optum ownership is a plus for payers and a consideration for providers who compete with Optum businesses, pricing is enterprise quoted, smaller practices will find platforms below a better fit

HealthSnap is the platform pick for organisations building a programme rather than buying a service. RPM and CCM live in one system, devices and EHR integration are handled, and its billing automation targets the documentation failures that make practices lose money on codes they earned. ACOs, larger groups and systems building in-house capability are its centre of gravity.
The honest caveat is staffing. Software does not call patients. Budget the care coordinators the programme requires, model enrolment honestly (a fraction of eligible patients will join and stay), and HealthSnap's economics can work well. Skip that planning and the platform becomes another dashboard nobody opens.
What we like- Platform covering RPM and chronic care management together, which is how practices actually bill these services, integrates with 80-plus EHRs per the company, and supplies cellular and Bluetooth devices, patented billing automation and population analytics aimed at programme revenue, care coordination tooling with AI-guided workflows
Watch out for- Platform-led model: the clinical staffing is yours, so the service burden sits with the practice, breadth across virtual care can overwhelm a practice that only wants blood pressure monitoring, pricing is not published, programme success depends on your enrolment discipline more than the software

Optimize Health competes on the unglamorous middle of RPM: the daily workflow that decides whether a programme documents its minutes, works its alerts and bills cleanly. Its automation focus is aimed at the administrative leakage that quietly bankrupts small RPM programmes, which is a more useful promise than another analytics dashboard.
It will suit practices and mid-size groups that have, or will hire, the clinical staff and want tooling that keeps them compliant and paid. Organisations wanting the monitoring itself staffed should go back to Cadence; organisations wanting post-acute kits should compare HRS.
What we like- RPM and CCM platform designed around clinical workflow: enrolment, readings, alerts and billing in one flow, automation for time tracking and documentation supporting compliant CPT billing, device supply for standard vital sign monitoring, serves practices through health systems with an emphasis on programme operations
Watch out for- Software-led offer, so clinical monitoring staff is the buyer's to provide, less prominent in hospital-at-home and post-acute specialisation than Cadence or HRS, pricing by quote, published outcome data is thinner than the largest rivals

CoachCare fits clinics whose remote care ambition is wider than RPM alone: monitoring plus virtual visits plus structured programmes, on one integration. Specialty practices, where monitoring supports an existing coaching or treatment model, are its natural home, and its integration speed matters to clinics without IT departments.
Test the RPM specifics before signing: alert workflows, time tracking for billing, and device logistics at your panel size. CoachCare's breadth is the selling point, and breadth is exactly what needs verification against the two or three workflows you will run every day.
What we like- Combines RPM with broader virtual health tooling, including remote therapeutic monitoring and virtual visit workflows, fast EHR integration positioning aimed at clinics that cannot run long IT projects, device options for standard chronic monitoring, suitable for specialty clinics, including weight management and pain, where monitoring pairs with coaching programmes
Watch out for- Smaller company than the enterprise vendors here, with a thinner reference base, breadth across virtual care means RPM depth per feature should be tested, pricing is unpublished, hospital-scale buyers will outgrow it faster than platform rivals

Prevounce closes the list aimed at the buyers the enterprise vendors underserve: independent practices, FQHCs and rural clinics that need the whole thing (devices shipped, patients onboarded, minutes documented, billing defensible) without building a department. Its compliance posture is the pitch: RPM audits are a real CMS activity, and its documentation is built to survive one.
The cellular point deserves emphasis for this segment. Programmes fail when patients cannot pair Bluetooth devices or lack home Wi-Fi; cellular devices that transmit on their own remove the largest practical barrier for older, rural panels. If that is your population, Prevounce's model addresses your actual failure mode.
What we like- End-to-end offer for smaller organisations: software, proprietary cellular devices, logistics and clinical service options in one contract, explicit focus on CMS compliance, audit-ready documentation for RPM and CCM billing, serves FQHCs and rural health clinics, where RPM reimbursement rules have specific wrinkles, cellular devices avoid the Wi-Fi and app setup failures common with elderly patients
Watch out for- Smaller scale than the enterprise names, so very large systems will look elsewhere, proprietary device approach means less device choice than open platforms, pricing by quote, service elements vary by package, so confirm exactly what is included
How we chose
Companies were included if remote patient monitoring is a core business today, across the three working categories: chronic longitudinal, post-acute transitional and hospital at home. Ordering weighs model fit per category, clinical staffing depth, EHR integration and billing support. Prices are See website throughout because every company here contracts per programme; per-patient economics in this market run through the CPT codes described in the introduction, not through vendor rate cards. Vendor outcome statistics are treated as vendor claims.
The three questions that decide an RPM contract
Who watches the data at 2 a.m.? If the answer is your staff, price their time and your alert protocols honestly. If it is the vendor's clinicians, price the escalation terms and the liability split. RPM programmes fail on this question more than on device choice.
Does the documentation survive an audit? RPM billing requires specific elements: qualifying device data days, documented management time, an established patient relationship and consent. Ask each finalist to show you the audit trail their system produces for one patient-month, and have your compliance lead read it.
What share of enrolled patients will still be transmitting at month six? Adherence is the economics: devices that patients abandon produce no billable days and no clinical value. Cellular devices, simple setup and human onboarding calls are the proven levers. Ask for cohort adherence data, not averages across all customers.
Frequently asked questions
How is remote patient monitoring reimbursed?
Medicare pays through CPT codes 99453 (setup and education), 99454 (device supply and data transmission), 99457 and 99458 (treatment management time). Industry estimates often put a fully realised programme around $160 per patient per month across these codes, but actual payment varies by year, locality and whether every requirement is met. FQHCs and rural clinics have specific rules, which vendors like Prevounce build for.
What is the difference between RPM and hospital at home?
RPM monitors patients with chronic or recovering conditions at home, usually with spot readings and periodic clinician review. Hospital at home delivers hospital-level acute care in the home under CMS waiver conditions, with continuous monitoring, daily visits and immediate response capability. Different acuity, different vendors: Cadence and Current Health work at the acute end; the platforms here work at the chronic end.
Are RPM devices FDA-cleared?
The medical devices used in billable RPM (blood pressure monitors, scales, oximeters, glucose meters and wearables) are generally FDA-cleared or authorised devices, and CMS requires devices that meet the FDA definition of a medical device and transmit automatically. Clearance attaches to the specific device model, so verify the exact unit a vendor ships, on the vendor's documentation, rather than assuming brand-level clearance.
Should our practice staff the monitoring ourselves or buy a service?
It depends on scale and hours. Below a few hundred monitored patients, a platform (HealthSnap, Optimize Health, Prevounce) plus your own coordinators is usually the workable economics. At health system scale, or where overnight and high-acuity coverage is required, a staffed service such as Cadence prices the problem away. The common failure is the middle path: platform bought, staffing never funded.
Why do RPM programmes fail?
Adherence and documentation. Patients stop transmitting when devices are fiddly or nobody calls them, which kills both the clinical value and the billable days. Programmes also fail audits when management time is not documented to CMS standards. Both failure modes are operational, which is why this list judges companies on workflow and staffing, not device catalogues.
