SaRA Health

What SaRA Health does

SaRA Health is a US-based digital health company that operates a Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) platform for physical therapy, occupational therapy, orthopedic, and pain management practices. The company was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Kansas City, operating as a private entity with 11-50 employees.

The core product is a Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) that integrates with browser-based Electronic Medical Record systems to automatically identify RTM-eligible patients within a practice's existing records. Once enrolled, patients receive personalized SMS-based check-ins tied to their injury and care plan, with no app download required. Responses flow into a centralized portal that reduces inbound phone, email, and text volume for the practice. SaRA also operates an RTM billing and denial management module that handles CPT codes 98975, 98977, 98985, and 98979-98981 on behalf of practices, including appeals against denied claims.

The company monetizes through a usage-based revenue share of captured RTM CPT reimbursement under an "Effector Model" in which SaRA only earns when the practice successfully collects. Reimbursement is supported by Medicare and major commercial payers including United, BCBS, and Aetna. Go-to-market is product-led and self-serve via the company website, with EMR integration enabling near-frictionless enrollment and limited direct sales intervention. Reported performance metrics include a 65% average patient SMS engagement rate and an 84% platform rating from ORCHA. Third-party credibility is reinforced by SaRA's signing of the APTA Digital Transparency pledge.

Direct peers

• Vivify Health: Remote patient monitoring and virtual care platform used by health systems and providers to manage chronic and post-acute patients at home. Comparable to SaRA in the provider-integrated RPM/RTM category with EMR connectivity and billing workflows.
• Sword Health: Digital musculoskeletal care and physical therapy platform offering remote therapeutic programs for employers and health plans. Directly comparable to SaRA as both serve the PT/rehab population with software-enabled remote monitoring and coaching, though Sword leans employer/payer while SaRA targets clinics.
• CareSimple: Remote patient monitoring SaaS for health systems and physician practices with device integration, patient engagement, and RPM billing. Comparable to SaRA as a practice-facing RPM/RTM platform with billing automation and EMR integration.
• Hinge Health: Large-scale digital MSK and PT platform combining wearable sensors, app-based exercise therapy, and remote coaching. Comparable to SaRA in targeting musculoskeletal recovery with between-visit engagement, but Hinge sells primarily to employers and payers rather than provider practices.
• Health Recovery Solutions (HRS): Remote patient monitoring platform offering connected kits, tablets, and clinician dashboards for chronic and post-acute care. Comparable to SaRA as an RPM/RTM vendor serving provider workflows, though HRS emphasizes device kits while SaRA focuses on SMS/software.
• Optimize Health: Remote patient monitoring platform that connects patients with connected devices and integrates with provider EMRs for chronic care management. Comparable to SaRA as a SaaS RPM vendor selling to provider practices with billing support, though Optimizes leans device-heavy chronic care rather than MSK RTM.
• Force Therapeutics: Digital care platform for musculoskeletal and orthopedic recovery that engages patients via video and digital exercise programs between visits. Closest direct competitor to SaRA in the practice-facing RTM/patient engagement category for PT and orthopedic recovery.

Broad incumbents

• Omada Health: Established virtual-first chronic care company spanning diabetes prevention, hypertension, musculoskeletal, and behavioral health sold to employers and payers. Comparable to SaRA in digital therapeutic programs with between-visit engagement and outcomes reimbursement, but much larger and employer/payer-led.
• ResMed (Propeller Health): Global med-tech leader in sleep and respiratory care whose Propeller Health subsidiary offers connected inhaler sensors and digital respiratory monitoring. Comparable to SaRA as a software-enabled remote therapeutic monitoring vendor in the respiratory RTM category, though much larger and device-centric.

Emerging players

• Prevounce Health: Remote care management and RPM platform focused on chronic care management, behavioral health, and wellness programs for practices. Comparable to SaRA in selling provider-facing RPM/RTM software with billing support, though smaller scale and broader chronic care focus.
