CMS-1848-P) & CPT 98975–98985 Ready
As a practicing Physical Therapist who has owned and operated Active Method Physical Therapy (formerly Montclair Physical Therapy) across three locations in Oakland, California since 1989, I got tired of watching private clinics lose +$36,000 to +$48,000 per location every year in Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) reimbursements that Medicare and commercial payers have already set aside for us. So I teamed up with the medical AI engineers at gentryelliott.ai to build the exact zero-app, 15-minute Monday workflow practicing PTs actually need.
Dear Fellow Clinic Owner,
Looking closely at my own clinic numbers recently across our three Oakland locations (Active Method Physical Therapy), I realized we were losing money every single month by not capturing the Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) funds that Medicare and commercial insurers have already set aside and are required to pay physical therapists.
Right now, out of 38,000 outpatient PT clinics in the United States, 92% to 94% aren’t collecting a dime of RTM. And we all know why: the legacy software platforms were built by software reps, not practicing clinicians. They charge $300+ per therapist upfront, force 68-year-old knee replacement patients to download an app and remember a password, upload patient videos to the cloud, and dump 100 useless notifications onto already burned-out PTs.
So I sat down with the clinical AI engineering team at gentryelliott.ai and gave them the exact wish-list of specifications I wanted as a practicing PT owner so our clinics can effortlessly capture those RTM funds — while actually improving patient home-exercise compliance and bringing pre-measured new patients through our front doors.
Before we scale the national rollout for the January 1, 2027 Medicare RTM rule change (CMS-1848-P), I am reaching out directly to fellow independent PT clinic owners to get your honest gut check on using it in your clinic — and for owners who want to participate in the upside, we have opened a Founding Clinic 1:1 Credit Pre-Fund and Co-Investment track so clinic owners (not Wall Street private equity) own our distribution channel.
Every piece of KineBuilt Health was engineered around three non-negotiable rules for private outpatient PT clinics: zero upfront seat cost, zero app download or video recording for patients, and 100% compliance with the January 1, 2027 CMS in-house review rule.
Medicare fixed the old “16-day all-or-nothing cliff” that burned clinics in the past. Under the expanded RTM code set, you get paid even when a patient only logs 2 to 15 days in a month.
Older Medicare TKA, rotator cuff, and spine patients quit when forced to download apps or film themselves onto cloud servers. KineBuilt runs in 60 seconds via a 1-tap mobile browser link.
92°), counts reps aloud with a voice coach, and discards the image immediately. Zero video is ever saved or uploaded.Big companies like MedBridge admitted clinics were losing 90% of RTM revenue, so they partnered with third-party call centers (like Tandem RTM) that take half your check. Then Medicare dropped the hammer.
