RTM Billing Software

RTM billing software for musculoskeletal practices

BoneArc automates Remote Therapeutic Monitoring end to end — it tracks the recovery data, monitored days, and review time the RTM codes depend on, and turns them into a compliant monthly claim. Purpose-built for orthopedic surgery, physical therapy, and sports-medicine practices.

The RTM code ladder

Built around CPT 98975–98981, not bolted on

Generic remote-monitoring tools treat RTM as an afterthought. BoneArc is structured around the actual code ladder, so every input that makes a claim billable is tracked from day one.

  • 98975 setup & education, billed once per episode
  • 98985 / 98977 device supply, gated on real monitored data-days (2–15 and 16–30)
  • 98979 / 98980 / 98981 treatment-management time, accrued automatically
  • The interactive-call requirement the management codes depend on, captured and attested

Recovery data that bills itself

The monitoring you already do, captured as billable days

Patients log pain, range of motion, and exercise adherence daily from the BoneArc app. You get a live recovery picture — and every qualifying day counts toward the device-supply threshold automatically.

  • Daily pain, ROM/flexibility, and adherence logs from the patient app
  • Recovery trend graph, protocol milestones, and clinical flags
  • Passive review-time tracking that rolls into the management codes
  • One calendar day = one monitored day, deduped for billing accuracy

Validated PROMs

The right outcome measure, scored for you

RTM and outcomes data come from the same patient relationship. BoneArc delivers the correct PROM for each procedure on schedule and scores it on submission — clean outcomes for care, billing justification, and reporting.

  • Instrument matched to the surgery (KOOS Jr., HOOS Jr., ASES, QuickDASH, FAAM, LEFS)
  • Scheduled by recovery interval, scored against population norms
  • Panel-wide outcome analytics and per-patient trends

Audit-ready by design

RTM is billing — it has to hold up

CMS can audit RTM claims retroactively. BoneArc keeps the documentation tight and the trail intact, so a certified month is a defensible month.

  • Append-only audit trail across billing-critical actions
  • Immutable monthly certifications, locked once certified
  • Nightly compliance checks that catch gaps before they ship
  • HIPAA-aligned PHI handling, BAA in place, MFA on provider logins

The revenue math

Up to ~$135 per active patient, per month

Under the CMS CY2026 fee schedule, a fully engaged patient — device supply plus the management-time codes — reaches roughly $135 per month. For a panel of 100 patients, that is about $135,000 a year for recovery monitoring you may already be doing informally.

  • 16 days of patient data unlocks the higher device-supply tier
  • 20+ minutes of management time plus the interactive call stacks the management codes
  • Draft vs certified billing, with a clearinghouse-ready export each month

How much can an MSK practice earn with RTM?

Up to roughly $135 per active patient per month under the CMS CY2026 fee schedule; a panel of 100 such patients is about $135,000 per year. See the math →

Can physical therapists bill RTM?

Yes — PTs are qualified for RTM and bill under their own NPI. See RTM software for physical therapy clinics, or RTM for physical therapists →

Is RTM the same as RPM?

No — RPM is physiologic data billed by physicians/NPPs; RTM is non-physiologic therapeutic data (pain, function, adherence) and can be billed by therapists. RTM vs RPM →

Is BoneArc HIPAA-compliant?

Yes — PHI encrypted in transit and at rest, BAA in place, MFA on provider logins, and an immutable audit trail for billing records.
