About
CareSimple is a comprehensive remote patient monitoring (RPM) platform designed to remove the complexity from virtual care programs for healthcare organizations of all sizes. The platform covers the full RPM lifecycle — from ordering devices directly within an EHR, to shipping pre-configured, app-free 4G medical devices to patients, to monitoring alerts and syncing data back to the provider's health record in near real time. Supported devices include blood pressure monitors, remote weight monitors, glucose monitors, continuous glucose monitors (CGM), pulse oximeters, and spirometers. CareSimple's clinical platform surfaces population health insights, patient engagement tools, escalation alerts, and chronic care management (CCM) workflows — all from a single dashboard. A key differentiator is CareSimple's EHR interoperability: demographic data, vital signs, clinical activity, and billing metrics sync automatically, eliminating manual data entry and reducing errors. Monthly reimbursement reports cover CPT codes for RPM (99091, 99453, 99454, 99457, 99458) and CCM (99490, 99491), helping billing teams capture all eligible revenue. CareSimple also offers RPM-as-a-Service — outsourcing patient onboarding, alerts management, and care manager functions to CareSimple's team. This is ideal for organizations that want to launch an RPM program without expanding clinical staff. The platform is built to serve diverse patient populations regardless of age or technical ability, making it a practical solution for population health and hospital-at-home programs.

Use Cases
- A large health plan partners with CareSimple to roll out a turnkey RPM program for members with hypertension and diabetes, reducing hospital readmissions across its network.
- A primary care practice uses CareSimple to monitor post-discharge patients at home, receiving automated alerts when vitals fall outside safe ranges and syncing data directly into their EHR.
- A hospital-at-home program deploys CareSimple devices to acutely ill patients recovering outside the hospital, enabling care teams to track vitals remotely without requiring patient technical setup.
- An ACO leverages CareSimple's population health dashboards and CCM workflows to proactively manage high-risk chronic disease patients and capture additional reimbursement through CCM CPT codes.
- A healthcare organization with limited staffing uses CareSimple's RPM-as-a-Service offering to outsource patient onboarding and alerts management, launching a full RPM program without hiring new care managers.
Pros
- No Patient Tech Barriers: Devices work out of the box without apps, WiFi, or technical knowledge, making the platform accessible to elderly and non-tech-savvy populations.
- End-to-End Solution: Covers devices, software, shipping, warehousing, EHR integration, patient support, and program management under one vendor.
- Built-In Reimbursement Reporting: Monthly CPT-code billing reports for RPM and CCM simplify revenue capture and reduce administrative burden for billing teams.
- Flexible Deployment: Works for both self-managed programs and fully outsourced RPM-as-a-Service models, accommodating organizations of varying operational maturity.
Cons
- Enterprise-Focused Pricing: Designed for healthcare organizations; pricing is not publicly listed and likely requires a sales engagement, making it inaccessible for individual providers or small practices without a budget review.
- Limited to Supported EHR Systems: EHR integration benefits are only available to organizations using compatible electronic health record systems; custom integrations may require additional effort.
- US-Centric Reimbursement Model: CPT-code billing reports and reimbursement workflows are structured around US payer requirements, limiting direct applicability for international healthcare organizations.
