Short answer: A patient engagement app gives patients a plan to follow between visits and shows the practitioner what they actually did. PatientPower (beyondmychart.com) does this with care plans shared with each patient, scheduled reminders and encouragement notes, a Panel Activity view of who is on track, documentation support for remote-monitoring and care-management billing codes, and the MyChart records patients choose to share with you.
A good patient engagement app gives patients a plan between visits and shows you what they did. PatientPower offers shared care plans and goals, reminders and encouragement notes, a Panel Activity view, and consent and time logs for care-management documentation. It does not collect device data, so RPM and RTM need a separate device. Patients can share MyChart records through its live Epic connection.
Most of a patient's care happens between visits: the home exercises, the nutrition changes, the readings they were asked to take. A patient engagement app is the part of a practice's software that reaches the patient in that time. It hands them a clear plan, reminds and encourages them, collects what they log, and shows the practitioner the result before the next appointment.
PatientPower is built around that loop. Practitioners work in a Case Manager for their patient panel; patients see the same plan on their phone and log check-ins against it. The sections below describe what each part does today, using the wording of PatientPower's own feature pages and guides.
A summary of the practitioner side of PatientPower, with where each feature is described.
| What to look for | What PatientPower does | Described on |
|---|---|---|
| A care plan the patient can see | Build a plan in the Case Manager from a shared library of goals, exercises and nutrition guidance; the patient sees each goal straight away | Features; Goals guide |
| Patient check-ins between visits | Patients log progress against each goal (a slider, a 0-10 scale or done); you see it before the next visit | Goals guide |
| Reminders and encouragement | Set reminder and encouragement schedules, message the whole panel, use ready-made templates; messages carry a link, not health details | Features; Help (practitioner tour) |
| A view of the whole panel | Panel Activity shows which patients are on track and which need attention | Help (practitioner tour) |
| Remote-monitoring and care-management records | Consent per service, a time log and a printable monthly summary of what was recorded | Remote monitoring & billing |
| Records from other providers | See the records, including MyChart records, that patients choose to share with you, limited to the categories they grant | Features; Help |
| Plans for paid visit packages | Record package purchases and track sessions used; patients see sessions remaining | Features |
PatientPower practice rollout kit (PDF, 2 pages)
A one-page patient handout that explains what PatientPower does and how to join, a 30-second front-desk invite script, and a first-week checklist for the practitioner. Free to print and share. It describes features available in PatientPower as of October 2026.
Inviting a patient is one step. In PatientPower, signed in as the practitioner, choose Add a patient, enter the patient's name and the email address they will sign in with, and leave Email the patient an invitation ticked. The invitation carries a sign-in link and no details from the patient's record; if you add a personal greeting, keep health details out of it. The patient follows the link, creates a secure account with that same email address, and then sees each goal you set.
Home exercise program handout template (PDF, 2 pages, and an editable Word file)
A blank sheet for chiropractors and physical therapists to fill in for each patient: the exercises, with sets, reps, hold or time and how often; a 0 to 10 pain check-in; what should make the patient stop and call you; the next visit date; and a space for a QR code to PatientPower (beyondmychart.com), where the patient sees the plan you share. Page 2 is a 7-day log the patient ticks and brings back. The sheet contains no exercise recommendations: every entry is yours to write. Free to copy, edit and use in your practice.

The paper sheet goes home with the patient; the plan in PatientPower is what they log against between visits. PatientPower's goals library includes home exercises and a 0 to 10 pain score, so the same items can be set as goals the patient logs against between visits, and Panel Activity shows you who has gone quiet. More on that: How chiropractors and physical therapists keep patients on their home program between visits.
In the Case Manager you open a patient, schedule visits, set a check-in cadence and build a care plan from a shared library of goals, exercises and nutrition guidance, with private notes kept to yourself. A Provider Coach helps draft plans by voice or text. When a new condition is added to the library, an AI research pass proposes goals and a person reviews and signs off before they are used.
PatientPower's goals guide describes three ways to give a patient goals: start from one of their conditions, pick from the list, or type your own. Goals save as you add them and the patient sees each one straight away. A patient cannot edit your target; they ask for a change instead, and the request arrives on the goal for you to accept or mark as seen. Patients can also add goals of their own, marked as theirs, and you see both side by side.
You set reminder and encouragement schedules for patients, send a message to the whole panel, and use ready-made templates. You can choose which encouragement notes rotate for your patients and add a short note of your own; a new line is not sent until you approve it. You can also send one-tap kudos when a patient hits a goal.
Reminder emails carry a link, not health details: the patient opens the app to read what is there. Posts to your patient community are checked for patient names before they go out. Patients see their plan, the visit notes you release to them and their check-in streaks, with encouragement from their care team along the way.
Panel Activity gives you one view of your whole panel based on the check-ins patients log against the cadence you set, grouping patients as on track, slipping, gone quiet or never started. Opening a group shows the patients in it, so you can follow up with the people who need it before their next visit.
The view covers your own panel only. Information entered by one practitioner is never visible to, or shared with, another practitioner, according to PatientPower's privacy policy.

PatientPower's Remote monitoring & billing page explains the Medicare (CMS) codes for remote physiologic monitoring (RPM), remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM), chronic care management (CCM) and principal care management (PCM), including the new 2026 CPT codes Medicare pays for under the CY 2026 Physician Fee Schedule, and what each requires. It is general information, not billing, coding or legal advice.
In the Case Manager, each patient's Monitoring & time log page records consent per service, the minutes you or clinical staff spend and whether a call or video took place, and produces a printable monthly summary (consent, check-in days, communications, review activity and logged time) that shows each listed requirement as met, not met or not recorded, based only on what was entered in PatientPower. Met is not a billing determination, and the summary never says a service is billable. PatientPower never estimates minutes from clicks. For 99490 the summary counts clinical staff minutes only, so count your own time toward 99490 from your records.
Be clear about the limits. RPM and RTM both require a device that meets the FDA definition of a medical device (for RPM, one that uploads readings automatically). PatientPower does not collect or transmit device data, so it does not meet that requirement. CCM and PCM do not require a device, but CCM has requirements of its own: for example, CMS requires the patient's demographics, problems, medications and medication allergies to be recorded using certified electronic health record (EHR) technology, and PatientPower is not certified EHR technology. Using PatientPower does not make any service billable on its own; confirm coverage with the payer and a certified coder before billing. CPT is a registered trademark of the American Medical Association.
| Service | Medicare codes (short list) | Needs a device? |
|---|---|---|
| Remote physiologic monitoring (RPM) | 99453, 99454, 99445 (new 2026), 99457, 99458, 99470 (new 2026) | Yes, an FDA-defined medical device |
| Remote therapeutic monitoring (RTM) | 98975, 98976-98978, 98984-98986 (new 2026), 98980, 98981, 98979 (new 2026) | Yes, an FDA-defined medical device |
| Chronic care management (CCM) | 99490, 99439, 99491, and others | No |
| Principal care management (PCM) | 99424, 99425, 99426, 99427 | No |

Patients can connect MyChart from health systems that use Epic and let patients connect apps, including Kaiser Permanente, and bring conditions, medications, lab results, vital signs, immunizations and visits into their PatientPower vault, as each health system makes them available (some do not release every category, such as allergies). PatientPower's Epic MyChart connection is live: it was approved for use on 16 September 2026, and patients can connect their MyChart accounts today. That approval does not mean Epic endorses PatientPower.
You see the records patients have chosen to share with you, limited to the categories they granted, and patients can revoke access at any time. PatientPower is an independent app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Epic.

They do different jobs. ModMed's APPatient is ModMed's patient engagement app for its practices: patients use it for appointments, refill requests, messages, records and telehealth, and providers can view patient information stored in ModMed's EMA from a phone. PointClickCare Practitioner Engagement is a mobile app for physicians and nurse practitioners caring for long-term care and senior living residents: charts, orders and ePrescribing. PatientPower is for the time between visits: you build a care plan the patient can see, the patient logs check-ins against it, and Panel Activity shows you who is on track.
Checked on 20 October 2026. Each APPatient and Practitioner Engagement cell comes from the company's own product page or its App Store listing; the key in brackets, such as [M1], points to that page in the sources list. PatientPower cells describe features that exist today, from this page and PatientPower's Features page. 'Not described' means we could not find it on those pages; it does not mean the feature is absent. We left out ratings, prices and user counts. Products change often, so the linked company page is the authority.
| PatientPower | APPatient (ModMed) | PointClickCare Practitioner Engagement | |

Sources, checked on 20 October 2026:
Because they do different jobs, a practice can use more than one. A practice on ModMed can keep APPatient for appointments, refills and telehealth, and a practitioner who cares for long-term care residents can keep Practitioner Engagement for orders. Neither company's pages describe a connection to PatientPower, and PatientPower does not claim one. PatientPower covers the plan the patient works on at home and what they log against it.
MEngage is also listed for this search in some places. On 20 October 2026 we could not find a product page or app-store listing for a practitioner app by that name, so MEngage is not in the table.

Comparing apps? How to choose a patient engagement app: 10 questions to ask.
PatientPower is software that helps licensed practitioners organize care and share educational information. It does not diagnose or treat, and AI-drafted content can be wrong, so you review what goes to a patient. It does not submit insurance claims; the monthly report is documentation support, not a claim.
For practitioner accounts, PatientPower's privacy policy describes its safeguards: protected health information encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256), role-based access controls and audit logging. It says Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) are available for practitioner accounts. Health records, care plans, check-ins and sharing permissions are held in a dedicated Microsoft Azure environment separate from the public website. Voice input, including dictating to the Provider Coach, is turned into text by OpenAI's speech-to-text service or, if the browser cannot record audio for that service, by the web browser's own speech recognition, both outside that environment. Individual care-plan data is not used to train or improve AI models.
The help library includes a full practitioner tour and a version for chiropractic practices, filmed with a demo practice and made-up patients.

PatientPower's help library includes a tour for any practitioner and one for chiropractic practices. Which remote-monitoring or care-management codes you can bill depends on your license and the payer; Medicare pays chiropractors only for manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation, so chiropractors cannot bill Medicare for RPM, RTM, CCM or PCM; some private payers set their own policies, so check each one. NPs and PAs can generally bill all four, and physical and occupational therapists can bill RTM.
In PatientPower, signed in as the practitioner, choose Add a patient, enter the patient's name and the email they will sign in with, and leave the invitation box ticked. The patient gets an email with a sign-in link and no details from their record, follows it and creates an account with that same email. The free practice rollout kit on this page includes a patient handout, a front-desk script and a first-week checklist.
Yes. This page has a free, blank home exercise program handout template as a PDF and an editable Word file.
