Overview
Why Remote Blood Pressure Monitor Monitoring Works
High blood pressure is the condition remote patient monitoring was effectively built around. It is common, it is silent, it responds to medication changes, and a single office reading every few months tells a clinician almost nothing about how a patient is actually doing. Home readings, taken consistently and reviewed by a care team, close that gap.
The obstacle has rarely been willingness. It’s friction. Devices that need a smartphone, a Bluetooth pairing sequence, an app login and a home Wi-Fi password lose exactly the patients who benefit most. HealthArc’s blood pressure monitor removes every one of those steps: it ships activated, connects over the cellular network on first use, and transmits automatically.
Blood pressure data feeds RPM, and the same patients frequently qualify for CCM or PCM alongside it. Every device in the HealthArc device family reports into one dashboard and one monthly billing record, not a separate portal per vendor.
Device Features
Built for Clinical Programs, Not Consumers
A clinically validated upper-arm blood pressure monitor built for RPM programs, with three cuff sizes, one-touch operation and a multicarrier SIM that finds the strongest available network.
Clinically Validated Accuracy
Validated for long-term use across broad patient demographics, so readings hold up for the chronic-condition populations RPM programs actually enroll.
Multicarrier Cellular SIM
The SIM selects whichever carrier is strongest at the patient’s address, rather than failing because one network happens to be weak indoors.
One-Touch Operation
A single button starts the measurement. There is no menu to navigate, no account to create, and nothing for the patient to sync afterwards.
Cuffs That Actually Fit
Small (16–36 cm), Regular (22–45 cm) and Large (40–52 cm) cuffs are available, because a cuff that does not fit produces a reading you cannot act on.
Motion & Irregular Heartbeat Alerts
The device flags movement during measurement and detects irregular heartbeats, so your team can tell a genuine outlier from a bad measurement.
Battery Powered
Runs on 4 x AA batteries with an optional AC adapter, so the device works wherever the patient is comfortable using it, with no outlet required.
How It Works
From the Patient’s Home to Your Dashboard
Four steps, none of which require the patient to own a smartphone, install anything or report a number to anyone.
1
The device ships activated
HealthArc procures, configures and ships the blood pressure monitor directly to the patient, along with enrollment support and training. It works out of the box, and there’s no pairing sequence for your staff to talk anyone through.
2
The patient takes a reading
One action. No app to open, no account to sign into. That simplicity is what keeps adherence intact past the first few weeks.
3
Data transmits over cellular automatically
The reading moves to the HealthArc platform over the mobile network, encrypted and time-stamped. That happens in seconds. Nothing is transcribed by hand, so nothing is mistyped or forgotten.
4
Your team reviews, acts and bills
Readings are checked against the thresholds you set for that patient, alerts route to the care team, and monitoring days plus management time accumulate into a billing-ready monthly record.
Specifications
Blood Pressure Monitor Specifications
What the device measures, how it connects, and what the patient has to do. The short answer to the last one is: take the reading.
No apps. No pairing. No Wi-Fi. Cellular connectivity is the reason HealthArc programs can enroll patients who don’t own a smartphone or have home broadband. Typically the highest-risk patients in the panel.

Device supply with daily recordings or programmed alerts, per 30 days.
99457
First 20 minutes of monitoring management and interactive communication.
99458
Each additional 20 minutes of monitoring management in the month.
Code requirements, payment rates and monitoring-day thresholds change with each Medicare Physician Fee Schedule. Confirm current requirements in the CPT code library and with the CMS Fee Schedule Look-Up Tool before billing.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the HealthArc blood pressure monitor FDA-cleared?
Yes. The device is an FDA-cleared blood pressure monitor validated for clinical use and suitable for remote patient monitoring programs, where CMS requires that the device meet the FDA definition of a medical device.
Does the patient need a smartphone or Wi-Fi?
No. The monitor connects over the cellular network using its own built-in multicarrier SIM. There is no app to install, no Bluetooth pairing, no Wi-Fi password and no account for the patient to create.
What cuff sizes are available?
Three: Small (16–36 cm), Regular (22–45 cm) and Large (40–52 cm) arm circumference. Cuff size is confirmed during enrollment so the patient receives one that fits, since an ill-fitting cuff is one of the most common causes of inaccurate home readings.
Which CPT codes can we bill with this device?
Blood pressure readings support the standard RPM codes: 99453 for setup and education, 99454 for device supply, and 99457/99458 for monitoring management time. See our CPT code library for current requirements and thresholds.
How quickly do readings reach the care team?
Each reading transmits automatically within seconds of measurement and appears on the provider dashboard, where it is checked against the thresholds you configure for that patient.
Who supplies and ships the devices?
HealthArc handles procurement, configuration, shipping and patient support. Devices arrive activated, so enrollment does not depend on your staff walking a patient through a setup process over the phone.
