What each scope tier includes
Every calculator starts from one of three baselines. This is what separates them.
| Scope | Baseline | Typical shape |
|---|---|---|
| MVP | $80K | Narrowest useful release — one workflow, one user type, launched fast. |
| Standard | $160K | The common case: multiple roles, reporting, and the integrations most buyers expect. |
| Advanced | $320K | Multi-site or enterprise scope, deeper interoperability and heavier non-functional requirements. |
Baselines are before feature adders, compliance programmes, integrations and the platform, design and team-location multipliers. The headline range for this calculator is $80K–$384K. 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.
