Remote patient monitoring cost calculator
An RPM pilot with one device class, a vitals dashboard and threshold alerts costs $80,000–$140,000. Programmes that bill CPT 99453/99454/99457 and support multiple device vendors land at $160,000–$320,000, with enterprise deployments reaching $570,000. Price your device and billing scope below.

Configure your remote patient monitoring
Work through the steps below — scope, features, compliance and integrations — and you get an estimate with a range, a midpoint and a delivery window.
What each scope tier includes
Every calculator starts from one of three baselines. This is what separates them.
| Scope | Baseline | Typical shape |
|---|---|---|
| MVP | $23K | Narrowest useful release — one workflow, one user type, launched fast. |
| Standard | $46K | The common case: multiple roles, reporting, and the integrations most buyers expect. |
| Advanced | $92K | Multi-site or enterprise scope, deeper interoperability and heavier non-functional requirements. |
Baselines are before feature adders, compliance programmes, integrations and the platform and design multipliers. Every configuration this calculator can produce falls inside $19K–$353K — the floor is the cheapest tier at the cheapest multipliers with nothing added, the ceiling is the top tier with every option selected at the dearest ones. Both ends are computed from the price table above, not written by hand. A typical mid-market configuration lands near $109,550. See how the numbers are built.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to build an RPM platform?
A single-condition pilot with one device type costs $80,000–$140,000. A billable multi-device programme with escalation workflows and CPT 99453/99454/99457 tracking costs $160,000–$320,000. Enterprise RPM with health-system EHR write-back reaches $320,000–$570,000.
Do we build our own devices or buy them?
Buy them. Cellular-enabled cuffs and glucometers cost $40–$120 per unit from vendors like Tenovi, Withings or BodyTrace, and their APIs remove the BLE work entirely. Building a BLE pairing layer for consumer devices costs $28,000 upfront but saves $20–$50 per device at scale — it pays back somewhere around 1,000–1,500 enrolled patients.
What does RPM billing support add to the build?
CPT 99453/99454/99457 support costs about $18,000: 16-day-per-month reading counters, 20-minute interactive time logs, and an export or claims feed. Without it you cannot substantiate roughly $120–$170 per enrolled patient per month in Medicare reimbursement, so it is usually the highest-ROI $18,000 in the project.
