The short version
HealthArc vs Athelas
Our take
Athelas built RPM devices and revenue-cycle tooling, and now sits inside Commure’s much larger platform after their merger. If you want a focused care-management platform rather than one module within a broad suite, HealthArc runs nine reimbursable programs on one login with device freedom and a provider-owned model for the proposed CMS 2027 rule.
If a large, consolidating platform feels like more than you need for RPM and care management, HealthArc is the focused, purpose-built option.
Switch to HealthArc if…
- You want a focused care-management platform, not a broad suite
- You want device choice, not a fixed program
- You want automated billing across every program
- You want a provider-owned model for 2027
Fair comparison
What is Athelas?
Athelas started with remote patient monitoring devices and revenue-cycle management tooling, and became part of Commure through a merger — so the product now lives within Commure’s broad healthcare-operations platform.
For an organization that wants RPM and revenue-cycle capabilities inside a larger, consolidating suite, the Commure/Athelas platform offers breadth across many operational areas.

Why providers switch
Why practices move from Athelas to HealthArc
The structural reasons providers leave — and what HealthArc does differently.
Focused, not a mega-suite
HealthArc is purpose-built for CMS care-management programs — not one module inside a broad, consolidating platform.
Nine programs, one login
Run RPM, RTM, CCM, TCM, PCM, BHI, APCM, MTM, PIN with automated CPT billing on a single platform.
Device-agnostic, provider-owned
Keep your devices across 40+ options, with a provider-owned model built for the proposed CY2027 rule.
The 2027 factor
Athelas and the proposed CMS 2027 rule
Model exposureMedium exposure
As RPM within a larger platform, Athelas/Commure’s exposure to the proposed CY2027 rule depends on your staffing and device model — the proposal restricts counting RPM/RTM time to employed staff and reduces device-supply payments. It’s a proposal with an open comment period, not final. HealthArc offers a provider-owned model and device flexibility, focused specifically on care-management reimbursement.
Proposed rule
These are proposals in the CY2027 Physician Fee Schedule, not final policy — the public comment period is open and the final rule is expected later in 2026. Read our full CMS 2027 breakdown →
