Carematix

What Carematix does

Carematix is a privately held Chicago-based Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) company founded in March 2001 by three engineers. It sells an AI-driven RPM platform combined with a portfolio of FDA-cleared, cellular-enabled medical devices — blood pressure monitor (Blip BP 800), cellular weight scale (with patented weight-asymmetry sensors), pulse oximeter, and glucometer — that transmit biometric data without requiring patient-side apps, Bluetooth pairing, or home internet. The platform supports structured workflows for chronic care management, including anomaly detection, AI-generated clinical notes, automated patient outreach, EMR integration via HL7/FHIR/CCD, and a clinical dashboard with customizable alerts.

Carematix monetizes primarily by enabling healthcare providers to bill CMS reimbursement codes for RPM and Advanced Primary Care Management (APCM) services, supplemented by device sales and a clinical-trial platform (Decentralized Research Organization) sold to pharmaceutical sponsors. Per the company's own economics, combined RPM and APCM programs can generate over $200,000 in annual reimbursement per 100 Medicare patients. The go-to-market is sales-led, targeting enterprise health systems, rural health clinics and FQHCs, cardiology practices (CardioBlips), health plans/payors, and pharma/research organizations, with a stated 7-10 day deployment cycle and no implementation fees.

Carematix has operated for 25 years, holds 5 FDA 510(k) clearances, and claims to be the only RPM company audited by the FDA. It is incorporated as Carematix, Inc. in Delaware, operates with a roughly 15-person team listed publicly, and has never disclosed external funding or a change of control. Sub-brands include Blipcare (legacy consumer/wireless device line).

Revenue model

1. RPM Reimbursement Services: Carematix enables healthcare providers to bill CMS for Remote Patient Monitoring services using CPT codes. Revenue is generated through device setup fees (CPT 99453 - $21 one-time), monthly device monitoring fees (CPT 99454/99445 - $51 recurring), and treatment management time (CPT 99457 - $52, CPT 99458 - $41, CPT 99470 - $26). Combined RPM and APCM programs can generate $170,000+ annually per 100 Medicare patients.
2. APCM Reimbursement Services: Advanced Primary Care Management billing codes (G0556 - $15, G0557 - $49, G0558 - $110 per patient per month) for care coordination and chronic condition management services without time threshold requirements.
3. Clinical Trial Solutions: Virtual/decentralized clinical trial platform services for pharmaceutical companies including connected devices, patient engagement apps, real-time data monitoring, and site training support. Solutions comply with FDA, CE, GCP, and HIPAA regulations with 5 FDA 510(k) clearances.
4. Device Sales: Cellular-enabled RPM devices (blood pressure monitors, weight scales, glucometers, pulse oximeters) sold to healthcare providers and health systems for patient monitoring.
