Revenue cycle management for cardiac device billing covers every step from patient data ingestion through final payment collection for cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and remote patient monitoring services. The workflow includes automated data capture from multiple OEM portals and accurate CPT code assignment for procedures like 93298 (CIED interrogation), 99454 (device monitoring), and 93299 (technical component). After coding, teams submit claims and manage denials until payment is complete.
Traditional cardiac RCM struggles with fragmented OEM portals that require separate logins for Medtronic, Abbott, Boston Scientific, and Biotronik devices. Manual coding creates bottlenecks and errors, and more than 50% of initial denials are never resubmitted, resulting in permanent revenue loss. Remote monitoring programs add complexity because practices must track billable events across many device types and diverse patient populations.
Automated revenue cycle platforms solve these problems by unifying data streams, applying AI-powered CPT code generation, and delivering real-time denial prediction. Modern systems integrate bidirectionally with EHRs such as Epic and Cerner while staying vendor-neutral across all major cardiac device manufacturers.
Rhythm360 leads the market as a truly vendor-neutral platform that supports all major OEMs, including Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott, and Biotronik, through unified API integrations. The platform reaches 99.9% data transmissibility by using redundant data feeds, computer vision, and AI-driven extrapolation, which closes connectivity gaps that limit single-vendor tools.
The AI alert triage system cuts response times for critical events by 80%, and automated CPT code generation supports accurate billing for 93298, 99454, and 93299. Practices report 300% revenue increases through consistent capture of previously missed billable events and streamlined workflows that remove manual data entry across multiple OEM portals.
Rhythm360’s mobile application gives clinicians HIPAA-compliant access to review transmissions and sign reports from any location, which supports weekend and after-hours monitoring. The platform includes integrated Twilio communication with full audit trails, 24/7 certified cardiac technician oversight, and Epic and Cerner integration that typically completes within days to weeks.
PaceMate, which recently acquired Paceart from Medtronic, offers cloud-based cardiac device management with strong compliance features and vendor-neutral support across multiple OEMs. The platform focuses on secure data handling and centralized device workflows for cardiology teams.
Implicity delivers AI-powered alert filtering with advanced algorithms that reduce non-actionable notifications. The solution concentrates on clinical workflow efficiency and clinician workload reduction but provides weaker billing automation than full revenue cycle platforms.
Murj focuses on workflow automation and cloud-based device management with vendor-neutral capabilities. The platform supports solid clinical workflows but does not publish ROI metrics that approach the 300% revenue increases reported by Rhythm360 and similar comprehensive solutions.
Octagos offers AI-driven filtering of non-actionable transmissions and supports bidirectional EHR integration. This cardiac-specialized platform helps practices improve revenue performance and reduce time spent on low-value alerts.
Legacy Paceart functions as an on-premise database system that primarily supports Medtronic devices. The system lacks modern cloud architecture, AI capabilities, and broad vendor-neutral support, which limits scalability for multi-OEM practices.
Rhythm Management Group combines software with monitoring services and provides full vendor-neutral support, AI alerting and CPT automation, and documented ROI metrics that include revenue growth up to 300%.
