Why RPM Pays

What remote patient monitoring includes — and what it returns.

The devices, the check-ins, the documentation — and the economics behind them. RPM pays on two fronts: protecting margins by preventing costly escalations, and unlocking recurring revenue from care you already deliver.

Clinical Impact

↓ 59%

Reduction in hospital admissions post-enrollment.

Costs Prevented

$12,036

Annual savings per patient from reduced Total Cost of Care.

New Revenue

$600k+

New ARR generated from a modest 500 patient panel.

What’s Included

A remote patient monitoring program is more than a billing code.

Reimbursement requires device days, clinical time, and documented interactions. Here is everything that ships and everything that runs — the pieces the economics below are built on.

OUTsights RPM Kit

The core kit. All FDA-cleared.

Every deployment ships with three FDA-cleared Bluetooth devices, ready to monitor from day one.

OUTsights Standard RPM Kit — Digital Scale, Blood Pressure Cuff, and Pulse Oximeter

Digital Scale

Tracks weight trends that signal fluid retention, cardiac decompensation, and nutritional decline — automatically transmitted to the clinical dashboard.

Bluetooth • FDA-cleared

Automated Blood Pressure Cuff

Captures systolic, diastolic, and pulse rate. Alert thresholds configurable per patient — preeclampsia staging, hypertension management, and post-discharge monitoring.

Bluetooth • FDA-cleared • Clinical-grade oscillometric

Pulse Oximeter

Measures SpO₂ and heart rate. Critical for respiratory compromise detection, post-surgical monitoring, and chronic condition management.

Bluetooth • FDA-cleared • Real-time SpO₂ + HR

And everything the devices don’t capture.

Devices produce readings. Reimbursement — and better outcomes — require context, delivery, and proof.

Care Circle check-ins

Simple SMS check-ins to the patient and their caregiver — no app, no login — so decline shows up between readings, not after an admission.

Delivery into your EHR

Validated signal lands in Epic, Oracle Health, and athenahealth. No new portal for staff to check and no parallel workflow to staff.

Billing timers

Device days and clinical minutes tracked against billing code requirements as care happens — so nothing reimbursable slips, and nothing submitted lacks support.

Coverage anywhere

For homes without reliable broadband or cellular, the OUTsights Gateway keeps monitoring connected — turning unreachable patients into enrollable ones.

The Evidence Is Undeniable

Explore the latest breakthrough clinical trials and economic audits that prove continuous care intelligence is no longer an optional add-on—it is a financial necessity for every forward-thinking practice, health system, and ACO.

18-to-1 ROI

Slashing the Systemic Cost of Care

The 2025 RMLC Study evaluated an aggregated dataset of over 100,000 monitored patients and 25 million biometric data points. The results were conclusive: continuous care stabilizes physiology and prevents expensive hospital-based interventions.

"For every $1 invested in the RPM program, the health system generated roughly $18 in downstream medical cost savings."
