The short version
HealthArc vs ThoroughCare
Our take
ThoroughCare is well-regarded care-management and care-plan software that your team staffs — but it doesn’t fulfill devices or run the monitoring for you. HealthArc is a full-stack platform: it adds connected-device fulfillment, monitoring workflows and automated billing on top of the care-plan layer, across nine programs.
If you like owning the clinical work but want devices, monitoring and billing handled in one place, HealthArc is the more complete platform.
Switch to HealthArc if…
- You want device fulfillment included, not sourced separately
- You want monitoring workflows, not just care plans
- You want automated billing across every program
- You want one platform instead of stitched tools
Fair comparison
What is ThoroughCare?
ThoroughCare is care-coordination and care-plan software supporting programs like chronic care management, remote patient monitoring documentation, and behavioral health integration. Practices staff the clinical work themselves; ThoroughCare provides the structured software layer.
Its strength is a clean, guided care-plan and documentation workflow — a good fit for organizations that already have the staff and devices and want software to structure the programs.
Best suited for
Organizations that staff care management themselves and want structured care-plan software.
Why providers switch
Why practices move from ThoroughCare to HealthArc
The structural reasons providers leave — and what HealthArc does differently.
Devices included
ThoroughCare doesn’t fulfill hardware. HealthArc is device-agnostic across 40+ devices and handles fulfillment — no separate vendor to manage.
Monitoring, not just care plans
HealthArc adds real-time monitoring workflows and alerting on top of the care-plan layer, so the whole program lives in one place.
Nine programs, one platform
Run RPM, RTM, CCM, TCM, PCM, BHI, APCM, MTM, PIN with automated CPT billing — instead of stitching software, devices and monitoring together.
The 2027 factor
ThoroughCare and the proposed CMS 2027 rule
Model exposureLower exposure
Because ThoroughCare’s model is provider-run, it’s relatively insulated from the proposed CY2027 rule’s staffing restriction — that part is actually aligned with where the rule points. The bigger gap is operational: you still source devices and run monitoring separately. HealthArc keeps the provider-owned advantage and adds device fulfillment, monitoring and automated billing in one platform. (CY2027 remains a proposed rule, not final.)
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 →

The switch
Migrating from ThoroughCare is easier than staying
Switching from ThoroughCare to HealthArc is a white-glove, zero-gap move. We migrate your patient roster, care plans, consents and billing history — and add the device fulfillment and monitoring you were handling separately.
1
Free migration assessment
We review your current vendor, contract timing, device inventory and patient panel, then map a switch plan and revenue projection — no cost, no commitment.
2
Data & device mapping
We export and map your patient roster, historical readings, consents and billing history, and confirm which of your existing devices carry over.
3
Zero-gap cutover
Patients keep transmitting throughout the transition. Batch re-consent and EHR (HL7 FHIR) integration are handled in parallel — no monitoring gap.
4
Go-live & billing continuity
Your team trains in a few hours, enrollment moves over, and CMS-aligned billing documentation continues without interrupting cash flow.
FAQ
ThoroughCare vs HealthArc, answered
Is HealthArc a good alternative to ThoroughCare?
Yes — especially if you want devices, monitoring and billing in one platform rather than care-plan software alone. HealthArc runs nine CMS programs on one login, is device-agnostic, and automates CPT billing.
What does HealthArc add over ThoroughCare?
ThoroughCare is provider-run care-plan software without device fulfillment. HealthArc adds connected-device fulfillment (40+ devices), real-time monitoring and alerting, and automated CPT billing across nine programs.
Can I migrate my ThoroughCare care plans and data to HealthArc?
Yes. Our white-glove migration maps your roster, care plans, consents and billing history into HealthArc via a structured HL7 FHIR import.
How does the proposed CMS 2027 rule affect ThoroughCare users?
ThoroughCare’s provider-run model is relatively aligned with the proposed rule’s staffing direction. The proposal (open comment period, not final) also touches device-supply payments — an area where HealthArc’s bundled, device-agnostic approach helps.
How long does it take to switch from ThoroughCare to HealthArc?
Most practices are live within about 30 days with no IT team required.
