Free 5-Minute Guide
RTM has been available since January 2022, but most clinics haven't adopted it yet. In 5 minutes, learn how RTM works, what it pays, and how to launch it at your clinic.
Lesson 1
RTM is often confused with RPM. They're different programs with different rules, different providers, and different billing codes.
Data Collected
Non-physiological data — MSK function, therapy adherence
Device Required
Phone camera, apps — no special hardware required
Eligible Providers
PTs, OTs, SLPs — therapists bill directly
CPT Codes
CPT 98975–98981
Joint angles, range of motion, and movement quality — tracked through phone camera motion analysis.
Know which patients are doing their exercises at home — and who's falling behind before the next visit.
Lesson 2
Click each code to learn how it works, when to bill it, and practical tips for your practice.
Initial Setup & Education
Device Supply (Monthly)
Treatment Management (First 20 min)
Treatment Management (Additional 20 min)
RTM Device Supply (2–15 days)
Billed when a patient falls short of the full threshold — so partial-adherence months still generate revenue.
RTM Management (10–19 min)
Billed when a patient falls short of the full threshold — so partial-adherence months still generate revenue.
The Sweet Spot Combination
98977 + 98980 + 98981
= up to ~$143.69/patient/month in recurring reimbursements
+ $22.25 one-time setup per patient (98975, billed first month only)
Verify rates on CMS Fee ScheduleLesson 3
Five simple steps, repeated monthly. Here's exactly what happens from enrollment to billing.
Obtain patient consent for remote monitoring. Explain what data will be collected and how it helps their care. This can be done during a normal intake visit.
Help the patient install the app and demonstrate their prescribed exercises. Show them how to log sessions using their phone camera. Bill the initial setup code.
The patient performs exercises at home while the camera seamlessly logs their movement. The app automatically collects movement data and transmits it. Must hit 16 days for 98977.
Review AI-generated movement reports, send feedback to the patient, and adjust the care plan as needed. Track your time — you need 20+ minutes for 98980.
SuloMotion tracks every qualifying day and minute automatically — and notifies you when a code is ready to bill for each patient. Generate a one-click compliance report and submit your claims.
Lesson 4
RTM creates a new reimbursement stream from patients you're already treating. Adjust the slider to explore the estimated potential for your clinic.

Jan 2022
RTM codes available — most clinics still haven't adopted
$0
Extra hardware cost — patients use their own phone
With 40 patients, estimated first-year reimbursements could reach $37,166 — $3,041/mo recurring plus $668 in one-time setup.
Based on CMS Fee Schedule averages with industry achievement rates applied. Actual reimbursements vary by payer, locality, and patient compliance.
Why SuloMotion
See how SuloMotion compares to traditional RTM platforms.
Traditional RTM Platforms
Basic Processing
Relies on basic real-time pose estimation, limited by the hardware capabilities of older patient phones.
Generic Patient Experience
Cluttered interfaces with distracting elements not suited for focused pediatric care.
Fragmented Communication
Disconnected messaging systems that force clinics to hunt down patient updates.
Billing Friction
Manual spreadsheet tracking and guesswork that turn RTM billing into an administrative nightmare.
The SuloMotion Standard
Advanced Clinical AI
Off-device deep machine learning captures full-body posture, hand gestures, and facial landmarks seamlessly on any smartphone—providing critical objective data for PT, OT, and SLP providers.
Pure Clinical Focus
A beautifully simple, distraction-free environment designed to empower patients and their caregivers without the clutter of forced gamification.
Unified Provider Messaging
Seamless communication channels automatically logged directly alongside the therapy progress of the patient.
Streamlined Revenue
Auto-generated reporting built to simplify clinic billing and keep your documentation audit-ready.
Phone camera eliminates device non-compliance. No sensors to ship, charge, pair, or lose. Patients already have everything they need.
Tracks every qualifying minute automatically. Alerts when patients are at risk of falling below the 16-day threshold. One-click audit reports.
Real biomechanical outcomes — joint angles, range of motion, movement symmetry — not just whether someone opened the app.
Assistants can contribute monitoring time under general supervision. Extends your team's capacity without requiring a PT for every review.
You now know more about RTM than most clinic owners. Here's how to put it into action.
SuloMotion handles the technology, compliance tracking, and patient engagement — so you can focus on patient care while capturing every billable RTM encounter.
