Kavera vs. Creyos
Kavera and Creyos are both digital cognitive/behavioral assessment platforms used by specialty medical practices, but they target different clinical workflows: Creyos centers on standardized cognitive testing and neurobehavioral status exam support (CPT 96116/96132), while Kavera centers on concussion, mental health, cognitive health, and headache monitoring between visits, built around Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (CPT/HCPCS 98975–98981) alongside neurocognitive testing codes.
Who Each Platform Is Built For
Creyos, formerly Cambridge Brain Sciences, markets to a broad multi-segment buyer base: neurologists, psychiatrists, occupational therapists, primary care practices (including senior-focused clinics), health systems and large physician groups, Medicare Advantage payers, and academic researchers. Its core product is a set of automated online cognitive tasks (measuring domains like short-term memory, reasoning, and concentration) paired with standard behavioral-health questionnaires (PHQ-9, GAD-7, PCL-5, ASRS) and condition-specific protocols such as dementia and ADHD screening, according to Creyos's own site.
Kavera is built for practices that already see post-injury and post-concussion patients: neurologists, neurosurgeons, orthopedists, sports-medicine physicians, and nurse practitioners. Rather than a general-purpose cognitive testing library aimed at many specialties, Kavera organizes its content around four clinical modules — Concussion, Mental Health, Cognitive Health, and Headache — reflecting the comorbidity pattern common in post-injury care rather than a single-domain screening tool.
Assessment Approach
Creyos's cognitive tasks are gamified, computer-adaptive exercises designed to be taken independently and scored automatically, supplemented by standard behavioral questionnaires layered on top. This is a strength for rapid, repeatable cognitive screening across a wide population.
Kavera uses a assessment battery spanning symptom scales, mood/anxiety/PTSD screens, sleep measures, and cognitive-domain tests, delivered to patients between visits. The battery is organized to generate the kind of structured, timestamped monitoring data that RTM and neurocognitive testing documentation typically requires — administration dates, patient-reported symptom trend lines, and domain-level cognitive results a clinician can review at the next encounter. See individual instrument pages such as PCSS, PHQ-9, and PCL-5 for detail on what each measure covers.
Billing and Documentation Content
Both companies publish clinical/billing education content, but the code focus differs. Creyos has published articles differentiating CPT 96125, 96116, and 96132/96133, walking through worked scenarios for mental-health workups, technician-administered testing in neurology practices, and primary-care pre-screening (see Creyos's CPT code articles). Creyos also markets that its auto-generated reports simplify claims documentation and that combined cognitive/behavioral data can help support medical necessity.
Kavera's billing content centers heavily on Remote Therapeutic Monitoring — CPT/HCPCS 98975, 98978, 98980, and 98981 — in addition to neurocognitive testing codes such as 96132, 96133, 96136, 96137, 96116, 96121, and 96146. RTM code 98978, which covers device/CBT monitoring supply for between-visit data, is a particular area of focus for Kavera because concussion-care practices already generate the qualifying data through repeated patient check-ins but frequently do not currently bill for it. Public evidence suggests Creyos's billing content does not center on the RTM code family in the same way; this is based on the content published on creyos.com/blog as of this research and should be treated as an observation about published content, not a claim about product capability.
Comparison Table
Where Creyos May Fit Better
Practices whose primary need is broad cognitive screening across many specialties and conditions — not specifically post-injury or concussion care — and that want a single platform spanning primary care, psychiatry, and OT use cases may find Creyos's multi-segment design a closer fit. Its published CPT 96116/96132/96133 differentiation content is also a useful public resource for practices new to those codes generally, independent of which platform they ultimately choose.
Where Kavera May Fit Better
Practices centered on post-concussion, sports-medicine, or specialty follow-up care — where mood, sleep, cognitive, and symptom data need to be tracked together between visits, and where RTM billing (particularly 98978) represents a documentation and revenue opportunity that isn't yet operationalized — are the workflow Kavera is built around. The module structure (Concussion, Mental Health, Cognitive Health, Headache) reflects that comorbidity pattern rather than treating each domain as a standalone screening product.
How Kavera Handles This
Dr. Abrahams used Creyos in his own program before building Kavera. Kavera keeps the cognitive testing and adds what a concussion practice needs around it: the first-visit neuropsych battery, weekly check-ins, brain training, guided support, telehealth, and documentation built for RTM and testing codes. Self-Serve practices run this with their own staff. On Managed, our team runs it and bills it under your credentials.
