Answers to commonly asked questions
None. You buy no equipment; you have no long-term contracts; you have no financial obligations whatsoever. You can quit the program at any time, with no penalty.

Our full-service suite does 98% of the work associated with RPM—you simply tell us which patients you’d like to enroll, and we do everything else. However, if you want to adjust the workflow or workshare or process to meet your specific needs, we can do that.

If your organization lets BlueStar run the program, it can generate about $30 per patient per month in new profit. 

Every organization is unique and there are no one-size-fits-all prices but we only get paid when you get reimbursed so it is always cashflow positive.

For an analysis of your specific organization, e-mail support@bluestartelehealth.com and we’ll send you one.

Each month, BlueStar will provide a comprehensive report showing which patients qualified for reimbursement for which CPT codes. We can document this in your EMR if desired. It will provide all the information for your billing team to submit directly to CMS.
If you choose, you can enroll your first patient tomorrow. We have a standard 2 to 4 week onboarding process, but can speed it up, or slow it down, as you desire.
