What remote therapeutic monitoring software actually does

Remote therapeutic monitoring software lets a physical therapy clinic track a patient's home exercise adherence, pain, and function between visits, then bill that monitoring to Medicare and many commercial payers. It differs from remote physiological monitoring, which captures device data like blood pressure or glucose. RTM captures therapy data such as musculoskeletal progress and medication adherence, so it fits rehab work in a way physiological monitoring does not.

CMS created a set of RTM CPT codes that make the category billable. Those codes pay clinics for setup, device supply, and monthly monitoring time.

Clinics are evaluating vendors now because the 2026 code set adds three new codes, 98985, 98984, and 98979, and reimbursement pressure has pushed practices to capture revenue they already earn through follow-up care. Because an EHR only stores records, RTM software is what turns that follow-up care into a documented, billable service.

How we evaluated RTM software

We scored every vendor on five criteria that decide whether an RTM program actually generates reimbursement and sticks with patients.

EHR integration measures how cleanly the platform connects to your existing system, since duplicate data entry kills adoption. Security certifications cover formal standards like ISO 27001 and ISO 13485 that hospital procurement teams require. Patient adherence tracking captures whether the tool records the engagement data CPT codes demand, not just prescribes exercises. Implementation time reflects how fast a clinic reaches its first billable month. Pricing model looks at whether RTM costs a flat rate, a per-patient fee, or an add-on that inflates the true price.

We prioritized fit for physical therapy over breadth. Several remote monitoring vendors serve cardiology or chronic disease first, and we left them off rather than pad the list. Every platform here is a credible choice for a PT, OT, or SLP clinic building an RTM program, judged on how well it meets the five criteria above rather than on brand recognition.

1. Physitrack

We built Physitrack as a home exercise program and patient engagement platform first, and the RTM layer sits on top of that foundation. That order matters because RTM billing depends on patients actually completing prescribed exercises and reporting data, and engagement is where most RTM programs fail. For multi-location networks and hospital systems evaluating remote therapeutic monitoring software, we position Physitrack as the strongest fit. We are not an EMR, and we integrate alongside the clinical documentation system you already run rather than replacing it.

Our Epic integration is the practical reason large systems shortlist us. Clinicians prescribe programs and review adherence data without leaving their existing Epic workflow, so RTM does not become a second system to maintain. We also connect with other EHR and EMR platforms, including Prompt Health, so clinics on an all-in-one system can add our engagement and monitoring layer without abandoning their core software.

Security clears procurement review at the organizations most cautious about it. Physitrack holds ISO 27001 certification for information security management and ISO 13485 certification for medical device quality management. Those two certifications carry real weight with hospital IT and compliance teams, and they distinguish us from RTM vendors that rely on general assurances rather than audited standards.

Adherence tracking connects directly to billing through our real-time CPT eligibility dashboard. The dashboard shows which patients have met the monitoring and interaction thresholds each RTM code requires, so billing staff see who is eligible before the claim goes out rather than guessing after the fact. For a network running RTM across dozens of clinicians, that visibility turns a manual reconciliation task into a screen someone checks.

Our 18,000+ exercise library comes bundled with RTM at no additional cost. Many competitors charge separately for exercise content or ship a thin library that clinicians outgrow quickly. Physical therapists prescribing for orthopedic, neurological, and post-surgical caseloads need depth, and a library that size covers the range without forcing workarounds.

Taken together, these pieces support reimbursement potential of over $100 per patient per month for clinics that run RTM consistently. The number depends on payer mix and how reliably patients hit code thresholds, which is exactly what the engagement library and eligibility dashboard are built to protect.

Physitrack is best for multi-location networks and hospital systems that need Epic integration, audited security certifications, and a bundled exercise library under one contract. If you want a standalone RTM tool with no home exercise program behind it, a lighter vendor may suit you better.

2. MedBridge

MedBridge is the name most physical therapy directors already know, largely because its continuing education catalog and clinician training courses have been fixtures in the field for over a decade. Its education library is deep, and clinics often adopt MedBridge for CEU access before ever considering its home exercise or monitoring features.

On the five RTM criteria, MedBridge performs unevenly. Its patient engagement and exercise tools are mature, and adherence tracking is workable for clinics running standard programs. Where it lags is the RTM-specific plumbing. MedBridge does not publish the same organization-level ISO 27001 and ISO 13485 certifications Physitrack holds, and its EHR integration story leans on general connectivity rather than a dedicated Epic pathway for RTM billing data.

The gap most buyers feel is billing visibility. MedBridge gives you monitoring and messaging, but it does not surface a real-time CPT eligibility view that tells you which patients have crossed the billing thresholds this month. That leaves your staff reconciling adherence data against code requirements manually, which slows reimbursement capture.

MedBridge suits clinics that use its education catalog and already treat it as their training backbone. For a multi-site network building an RTM program around certified data handling, Epic integration, and eligibility tracking, Physitrack covers those criteria more directly.

3. Prompt Health

Prompt Health fits clinics that want RTM built directly into their EMR rather than added as a separate layer. Its platform starts as practice management and clinical documentation, and RTM sits alongside scheduling, billing, and charting in one system. For a single-location or small multi-clinic practice that wants to run everything from one login, that consolidation removes the work of connecting a standalone monitoring tool to a separate record.

The EMR-first design that makes Prompt Health convenient also sets its limits. RTM works best inside the Prompt Health workflow, so clinics already committed to another EMR gain less, and larger networks that run mixed systems across sites may find the all-in-one model harder to standardize. The exercise and adherence features serve the documentation flow rather than functioning as a dedicated engagement platform, so clinics wanting a deep home exercise library or advanced patient-facing app will find the RTM component narrower than a specialist tool.

Physitrack takes the opposite approach and integrates as a complementary RTM and patient engagement layer on top of existing systems, including Prompt Health. A clinic can keep Prompt Health as its EMR and layer Physitrack's 18,000+ exercise library, PROMs, and CPT eligibility dashboard on top. Choose Prompt Health when a single all-in-one system is the priority. Add a dedicated engagement layer when RTM depth and exercise prescription matter more.

4. Limber Health

Limber Health fits value-based care rehab groups better than any other vendor on this list because its product design assumes outcomes-based contracts rather than fee-for-service billing. Where most RTM platforms optimize for capturing CPT minutes, Limber Health builds its reporting around functional recovery data that payers in shared-risk arrangements actually want to see.

That focus shows in how Limber Health tracks patient adherence. It ties movement completion and progress to outcome measures a value-based contract can be scored against, so a rehab group negotiating on total cost of care can demonstrate that home programs are working. For groups carrying downside risk, that evidence matters more than the raw billing capture.

The trade-off comes on integration and scale. Limber Health works cleanly for rehab organizations already committed to value-based models, but its EHR integration and implementation footprint are narrower than what a large multi-location network on Epic would need. If your reimbursement still runs mostly through fee-for-service, its outcomes-first design does less for you.

Choose Limber Health when your revenue depends on proving recovery outcomes to a payer, not on maximizing monthly RTM minutes.

5. MovementRx

MovementRx fits independent clinics that want to run RTM without staffing the monitoring work themselves. Most platforms on this list are self-service, meaning your clinicians log in, review adherence data, and document the billable interactions. MovementRx offers an outsourced model where its team handles the monitoring touchpoints on your behalf, which removes the biggest operational barrier for solo and small-group practices.

A two-clinician practice rarely has spare capacity to track patient adherence and hit the 16-day and 20-minute interaction thresholds that RTM billing requires. MovementRx absorbs that labor, so the clinic captures reimbursement it would otherwise leave on the table.

Pricing is the other reason independent clinics look here. MovementRx publishes transparent rates rather than routing every buyer through a custom enterprise quote, which suits owners comparing cost against expected per-patient reimbursement before they commit.

The trade-off is scope. MovementRx concentrates on the monitoring and billing layer, so clinics wanting a large exercise library, deep EHR integration, or multi-site administrative controls will find it narrower than Physitrack. For a single independent clinic prioritizing predictable pricing and hands-off monitoring, that focus is a feature rather than a limitation.

6. Wibbi

Wibbi builds its RTM around a home exercise program and patient app, which puts adherence tracking closer to its core than most practice-management tools manage. Clinicians assign exercises, and the platform records completion and patient feedback, giving you the activity data RTM codes require. That focus makes Wibbi a reasonable fit for clinics that already run their exercise prescription inside it.

The gaps show up on the enterprise criteria. Wibbi does not publish Epic-level EHR integration or the ISO 27001 and ISO 13485 certifications that hospital procurement teams ask for, so multi-site networks will find it harder to slot into an existing clinical stack. Its pricing and implementation suit smaller, independent clinics more than large rehab groups.

If your clinic already uses Wibbi for home exercise programs, layering RTM on top is a low-friction way to start billing without adding a second vendor. For clinics evaluating from scratch with integration and certification requirements, Physitrack covers the same adherence tracking with the enterprise credentials Wibbi lacks.

7. Raintree

Raintree earns its place through practice management, not through a first-party RTM product. Raintree Systems built its reputation on scheduling, billing, and clinical documentation for larger rehab and multi-specialty groups, and its RTM capability arrives through a partnership rather than native development. In September 2024, Raintree named Limber Health as its preferred partner for RTM, home exercise programs, and outcomes tracking.

That distinction matters for buyers. Clinics evaluating Raintree for RTM are effectively evaluating the Limber Health platform delivered inside the Raintree ecosystem, so the RTM criteria you apply to Limber Health apply here too. EHR integration is real, but it runs through a third-party connection between two systems rather than one unified codebase, which adds a layer to assess during implementation.

Raintree fits larger multi-specialty or multi-location practices already committed to its practice-management core, where the appeal is keeping scheduling, billing, and documentation in one place and adding RTM through the Limber Health integration. If you are not already on Raintree, the RTM decision is really a Limber Health decision.

8. SaRA Health

SaRA Health fits practices where getting patients to download and log into an app is the real barrier to RTM. Its patient experience runs through text messaging rather than a dedicated app, so patients respond to exercise prompts and check-in questions from the phone they already use. That removes the download step that stalls enrollment in many programs, especially among older patients or those less comfortable with new software.

The no-app model directly improves the adherence data that RTM billing depends on. When patients answer a text instead of navigating an app, you capture more consistent engagement records, which supports the monitoring codes that require regular interaction. For a clinic that has tried a full-featured platform and watched enrollment stall at the login screen, that tradeoff matters more than a large exercise library.

SaRA Health works best for practices treating populations with low technology adoption. If your patients already use a rich exercise app without friction, you gain less from the text-first approach, and platforms with deeper exercise libraries and EHR integration will serve you better.

9. CCN Health

CCN Health targets chronic-care remote monitoring across multiple conditions, which puts physical therapy alongside cardiac, metabolic, and other disease-management programs rather than at the center of the product. That breadth helps health systems running mixed monitoring under one contract, but it works against clinics that need a rehab-first exercise library and PT-specific adherence tracking.

On the five criteria, CCN Health handles remote monitoring and billing support competently, and its EHR integration fits organizations already standardized on its stack. The gaps show in patient adherence tracking tied to prescribed exercise programs, where a general chronic-care model lacks the movement-specific detail a PT clinic needs to document engagement against RTM codes.

For a physical therapy buyer, CCN Health makes sense only when RTM sits inside a wider chronic-care mandate. A clinic focused on musculoskeletal rehab will find Physitrack or a PT-native platform a closer match for exercise prescription and adherence.

10. KangarooHealth

KangarooHealth sits outside the physical therapy core of this list because it was built for broad chronic-care remote monitoring, not exercise-based rehab. Its platform tracks vital signs, device readings, and care-team alerts across conditions like cardiac, diabetes, and hypertension management, which makes it a stronger fit for primary care and multi-condition programs than for a musculoskeletal caseload.

That breadth cuts both ways for PT clinics. On EHR integration and security, KangarooHealth holds its own, and its adherence tracking covers the general monitoring workflows CMS reimburses. It lacks the exercise library, program builder, and RTM-specific CPT tooling a rehab clinic needs to prescribe home programs and capture therapeutic monitoring codes.

For a physical therapy or occupational therapy department, KangarooHealth solves a different problem than the one this guide addresses. Consider it if your organization monitors mixed chronic conditions and treats rehab as one line among many, not if PT adherence is the primary use case.

11. EverEx

EverEx builds RTM around motion analysis, using a smartphone camera to track patient movement during home exercises and feed objective data back to clinicians. That focus on movement capture gives it a clear angle for clinics that want quantified range-of-motion and form data rather than adherence checkmarks alone.

On the five criteria, EverEx trades breadth for that specialty. Its exercise content and monitoring tools serve orthopedic and musculoskeletal rehab well, but published detail on EHR integration and formal security certifications such as ISO 27001 is thinner than what Physitrack or Prompt Health document. Pricing and implementation specifics are less transparent, which matters more for multi-location buyers running procurement reviews.

EverEx fits a single-clinic or small-group buyer who values camera-based movement measurement and treats RTM billing as secondary. For networks that need documented certifications, Epic integration, and a proven CPT eligibility workflow, it sits below the vendors ranked above it.

Best RTM software by clinic type

Independent PT, OT, or SLP clinics get the most from MovementRx, which offers transparent pricing and an outsourced monitoring option that removes the staffing burden of daily patient review.

Multidisciplinary practices that want RTM inside a single all-in-one EMR should look at Prompt Health, where the EMR-first design keeps documentation, billing, and monitoring in one record.

Value-based care rehab groups fit Limber Health, which builds its outcomes tracking around the reporting that risk-based and value-based contracts require.

Practices where patients resist downloading an app are best served by SaRA Health, which delivers monitoring through low-friction messaging rather than a dedicated app, so adoption climbs without extra onboarding.

Multi-location networks and hospital systems should choose Physitrack. Epic integration, ISO 27001 and ISO 13485 certification, and a real-time CPT eligibility dashboard hold up across sites, and the 18,000+ exercise library ships with RTM at no added cost. Physitrack layers onto your existing EHR or EMR, including Prompt Health, rather than replacing it, which matters when clinical documentation already lives in a system you cannot rip out. Reimbursement potential runs over $100 per patient per month once monitoring is active.

RTM CPT codes and reimbursement in 2026

RTM billing runs on a small set of CMS CPT codes, and the four core codes cover setup, device supply, and the treatment management time that drives most of the monthly revenue. Three additional codes, 98985, 98984, and 98979, extend the framework for 2026.

CPT code What it covers Requirement
98975 Initial setup and patient education One-time, per episode of care
98977 Device supply for musculoskeletal monitoring 16 days of data in 30 days
98980 First 20 minutes of treatment management per month Interactive communication with the patient
98981 Each additional 20 minutes of management per month Add-on to 98980
98985 Device supply for musculoskeletal monitoring, shorter window (2026) 2 to 15 days of data in 30 days
98984 Device supply for respiratory monitoring, shorter window (2026) 2 to 15 days of data in 30 days
98979 Additional treatment management time, shorter increment (2026) 10 to 19 minutes

Capturing these codes reliably depends on tracking adherence days and management minutes per patient, which is where most clinics lose revenue to manual spreadsheets. Our CPT eligibility dashboard tracks that data in real time and flags when each patient crosses the 16-day threshold or the 20-minute management mark, so your billing team acts on codes as they become eligible rather than reconstructing them after the fact. Consistent capture across a full panel is what pushes reimbursement above $100 per patient per month.

Why Physitrack leads this list

Physitrack earns the top spot because it clears all five criteria for multi-site networks and hospital systems, not because it does everything. Epic integration lets patient engagement data flow into the record clinicians already use. ISO 27001 and ISO 13485 certifications satisfy procurement and security review. The real-time CPT eligibility dashboard shows which patients qualify for billing before month-end, and the 18,000+ exercise library ships with RTM at no extra cost. Together those support reimbursement potential above $100 per patient per month.

Physitrack is not an EMR, and it does not replace your clinical documentation system. It sits alongside the EHR and EMR you already run, including Prompt Health, adding the RTM and engagement layer that connected system lacks.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between RTM and RPM? Remote therapeutic monitoring tracks non-physiological data like pain, mobility, and exercise adherence, while remote physiological monitoring tracks measurements like blood pressure and glucose. RTM codes let physical therapists bill for reviewing patient-reported and device-captured therapy data, which is why Physitrack's monitoring layer fits rehab workflows. Clinics choose RTM because it captures the musculoskeletal recovery signals that physiological monitoring never records.

Who can bill RTM CPT codes? Physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other qualified clinicians can bill RTM codes when they furnish the service under Medicare rules, unlike RPM, which is restricted to physicians and certain non-physician practitioners. Physitrack's real-time eligibility dashboard shows clinicians which patients have met the monitoring thresholds. That means your team bills accurately without reconstructing thresholds by hand.

How much does RTM reimburse per patient? Combined RTM codes can generate over $100 per patient per month when setup, device supply, and treatment management thresholds are all met. Physitrack surfaces those thresholds so you know when a claim is supportable. Actual amounts vary by payer and by how many months a patient stays enrolled.

Should I choose a bundled EMR-RTM system or a standalone RTM platform? Choose a bundled EMR-RTM system like Prompt Health if you want billing and documentation in one place, and choose a standalone platform if you need deeper adherence tracking and a large exercise library. Physitrack works as a complementary layer that integrates with your existing EHR, including Prompt Health. That approach keeps your records system intact while adding stronger engagement tools.

What is the best RTM software for physical therapy? Physitrack is the best RTM software for physical therapy practices that need a full clinical platform — combining RTM billing automation, an 18,000+ exercise library, Epic integration, and ISO 27001 and ISO 13485 certifications in one system. For clinics that want billing-only RTM with transparent pricing, MovementRx is the strongest dedicated option. Multi-program practices that also bill RPM or CCM should evaluate CCN Health. Practices where patient app adoption is a barrier will find SaRA Health's SMS-based approach the easiest to deploy.
