The short version
HealthArc vs Cadence
Our take
Cadence delivers a high-touch, managed chronic-care service for health systems — its clinicians help run the program for you. That’s convenient, but it’s a managed model exposed to the proposed CMS 2027 rule, and the economics are shared. HealthArc lets you bring the program in-house, keep the margin, and add more reimbursable programs.
If you want to own the clinical model and its economics — and protect reimbursement under the proposed rule — a provider-owned platform is the safer long-term play.
Switch to HealthArc if…
- You want to own the program instead of a managed service
- You want to keep the program economics in-house
- You want to protect reimbursement under the proposed 2027 rule
- You need more than managed chronic care
Fair comparison
What is Cadence?
Cadence provides a managed, high-touch chronic-care and remote-monitoring service aimed at health systems, where its own clinical team helps deliver day-to-day monitoring and patient engagement alongside its technology.
For a large organization that wants a partner to operate the program — and is comfortable sharing the economics in exchange for that lift — Cadence’s managed model removes the burden of building it internally.
Best suited for
Health systems that want a partner to operate a managed chronic-care program on their behalf.
Why providers switch
Why practices move from Cadence to HealthArc
The structural reasons providers leave — and what HealthArc does differently.
Own the program for 2027
Cadence’s managed clinicians are the model most exposed to the proposed CY2027 rule. HealthArc’s provider-owned model keeps monitoring — and reimbursement — with your own staff.
Keep the economics
Running the program in-house on HealthArc means the margin stays with your organization instead of a managed service — with the tooling to run it efficiently.
Far more than chronic care
Run RPM, RTM, CCM, TCM, PCM, BHI, APCM, MTM, PIN on one login instead of a single managed service line.
The 2027 factor
Cadence and the proposed CMS 2027 rule
Model exposureHigh exposure
Cadence’s managed-service model relies on clinical staff who are not employed by the billing practice — exactly the arrangement the proposed CY2027 rule would restrict by only counting RPM/RTM time from staff employed by the billing practice. It’s a proposal with an open comment period, not final policy, but it’s a strong reason for organizations on a managed model to evaluate owning the program with a platform like HealthArc.
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 →

FAQ
Cadence vs HealthArc, answered
Is HealthArc a good alternative to Cadence?
Yes — especially if you want to own your program rather than rely on a managed service. HealthArc offers a provider-owned model built for the proposed CMS 2027 rule, runs nine CMS programs on one login, is device-agnostic, and automates CPT billing.
Can I move off Cadence’s managed model without disrupting patients?
Yes. We run a zero-gap cutover and help you stand up your own monitoring workflow in parallel, migrating your roster, historical readings, consents and billing via a structured HL7 FHIR import.
How does the proposed CMS 2027 rule affect Cadence users?
The proposal would only count RPM/RTM staff time from staff employed by the billing practice, which puts managed-service reimbursement at risk. It’s a proposal with an open comment period, not final. A provider-owned model like HealthArc’s is designed to protect that reimbursement.
Will bringing the program in-house create more work for my staff?
HealthArc gives your team automated CPT time-tracking, alerts and workflows so owning the program is efficient — and we support you through the transition. Many organizations find the retained margin and control outweigh the added lift.
How long does it take to switch from Cadence to HealthArc?
Most practices are live within about 30 days with no IT team required, planned around your Cadence agreement so there’s no overlap.
