Orva vs. Limber: Choosing an RTM Platform After the Net Health Acquisition

What Limber Is

Limber Health was built as a digital care platform for physical therapy, with a focus on patient engagement and remote monitoring. Before its acquisition, Limber raised significant venture funding and positioned itself as a modern alternative to legacy PT software.

Post-acquisition, Limber sits inside Net Health's broader portfolio alongside Keet Health and other products. Net Health serves a range of healthcare organizations, with particular strength in enterprise and hospital-affiliated settings.

For clinics evaluating Limber today, the right questions to ask are about the product roadmap, pricing at renewal, support structure, and how Keet clients are being handled during migration. Those are questions only Net Health can answer directly, and they are worth getting in writing before signing a contract.

What Changes When a Platform Gets Acquired

Enterprise acquisitions do not always change a product immediately. But they reliably change the priorities behind it. Roadmaps consolidate around the acquiring company's strategic goals. Support structures reorganize. Pricing gets renegotiated at renewal. And products built for one segment of the market get repositioned toward the acquirer's core customer.

Net Health's core customer is the enterprise health system. If your clinic is an independent outpatient practice or a regional orthopedic group, it is worth asking whether a platform now owned by an enterprise software company will continue to prioritize your use case the way an independent, focused vendor would.

What Orva Is

Orva is a full patient engagement platform built specifically for outpatient PT and orthopedic clinics. That means HEP, patient-reported outcome surveys, secure messaging, and the most capable RTM billing engine available — all in one place, designed around how these clinics actually operate.

The RTM billing side is where Orva is most differentiated. The entire platform is architected around how RTM billing actually works: 30-day device periods, calendar month management cycles, code eligibility thresholds, and the documentation requirements that determine whether a claim gets paid or denied. Orva tracks all of this automatically. Clinicians and billers see in real time which patients qualify, which codes are billable, and what needs to happen before each billing window closes.

The six codes Orva tracks automatically: 98975, 98985, 98977, 98979, 98980, and 98981.

Beyond the platform, Orva actively manages RTM billing for its clinic partners at no additional cost — handling documentation, generating billing reports, and submitting claims on your behalf. This is not something most platforms offer at all, let alone as a standard part of the engagement.

In active Orva clinics, patient engagement runs above 90%. Setup takes under two minutes per patient. Clinics are typically live within an hour. Pricing is per patient, and you only pay for patients who qualify. And because Orva is independently owned, none of that changes as a result of an acquisition.

Who Should Consider Limber

Limber may be worth evaluating if your organization is already aligned with Net Health's broader product ecosystem, or if you are part of a larger health system that prioritizes enterprise vendor consolidation. Clinics with significant IT infrastructure and the resources to manage a more complex implementation may find the Net Health suite a fit for their needs.

Who Should Choose Orva

Orva is the stronger fit for independent outpatient PT practices and orthopedic groups that want a complete patient engagement platform — HEP, outcomes surveys, secure messaging, and RTM — without the complexity of an enterprise suite or the uncertainty of a platform mid-acquisition.

Orva also actively manages RTM billing for its clinic partners at no additional cost. That means documentation, report generation, and claim submission handled on your behalf, so your staff does not have to close the billing cycle manually.

The Question Worth Asking Any Vendor

Before signing with any RTM platform, ask two things. First, ask to see a live billing report showing patient eligibility status, qualifying days, and billable codes for a real month. Second, if the platform has been recently acquired, ask what your contract terms look like at renewal and get it in writing.
