Why operators switch
Built for the care front desk, priced as one plan
Made for senior living and skilled nursing
Envoy’s healthcare page is written for hospitals, clinics, and health systems. ArrivSure is built around what a care building’s front desk handles every day: families, agency staff, therapists, vendors, state surveyors, and residents going out to appointments. Provider visits become PBJ hours, resident sign-outs feed the census, and a surveyor check-in alerts your administrator and DON.
ArrivSure is $249 per location per month, month to month, with badges, documents, watch lists, driver’s-license capture, deliveries, and emergency alerts all included. Envoy Premium is $362 per location per month billed annually. Watch lists and ID scanning are on Enterprise, and Deliveries ($250 per location per month) and Response ($2 per user per month) are priced separately with a platform fee.
Every agency, therapy, and physician visit becomes a draft PBJ work entry with the CMS job code, NPI, and pay type. Providers sign off at the kiosk or by a one-time link, pre-export checks catch missing sign-offs and days over the cap, and you download the XML for iQIES.
Survey day and emergencies, built for care
Mark a visit purpose as State survey and your administrator and DON get a push, text, or email when surveyors check in. The Emergency Hub watches weather, wildfire, smoke, and river feeds near each building, runs incident playbooks built around the CMS emergency-preparedness rule, and keeps an evacuation roster of every visitor checked in. It’s all in the $249 plan.
Family feedback reaches the right person
Families answer a short survey at the kiosk when they check out. A low score, a flagged keyword, or a “no” alerts the right manager by text, email, or push. Then every visitor gets the same invitation to review you on Google, Yelp, Facebook, or Trustpilot. Envoy’s published survey is an email sent 24 hours after sign-in, with a weekly results summary.
A State survey visit purpose alerts your administrator and DON when surveyors check in, and one tap sends a Surveyors On-Site alert to your team by email and SMS.
16 healthcare and vendor credential types, uploaded by providers in the Visitor Portal. Monthly OIG exclusion checks, NPPES matching, and a kiosk gate set to Off, Warn, or Block.
Incident playbooks built around the CMS emergency-preparedness rule, a two-way roll call by text, an after-action report, and a heads-up when every kiosk at a building goes offline.

FAQ
Common questions
Is ArrivSure a good Envoy alternative for senior living and skilled nursing?
Yes. ArrivSure is built for care buildings: check-in, PBJ provider hours, resident census and sign-out, survey-day alerts, provider credentialing with OIG screening, family surveys, and review invitations, all in one plan at $249 per location per month. It fits senior living communities, skilled nursing facilities, and care groups with several buildings.
How much does Envoy cost compared to ArrivSure?
Envoy Premium is $362 per location per month, billed annually. Watch lists and ID scanning are on Enterprise, which is custom-priced, and Deliveries and Response are priced separately. ArrivSure is $249 per location per month on iPads you own, month to month, with every feature included. A Managed Kiosk with the iPad, stand, Brother printer, and remote management starts at $299 per location per month on a 36-month agreement.
Does Envoy track PBJ hours or resident census?
We didn’t find PBJ or resident census on Envoy’s public pages. ArrivSure turns every provider visit into a draft PBJ work entry, collects sign-off, checks the data before export, and builds the PBJ XML for iQIES. Residents sign out at the kiosk, and overdue returns are flagged to your team.
Does Envoy sign BAAs?
Envoy publishes a Business Associate Addendum that applies once a customer enables its HIPAA Feature, and asks healthcare buyers to contact their account team. Need a BAA from ArrivSure? Talk to us about your organization.
Does ArrivSure include emergency alerts like Envoy Response?
Yes, at no extra cost. ArrivSure sends mass alerts by email, SMS, and Companion push from a template library that includes lockdown, weather, elopement, and Surveyors On-Site. The Emergency Hub checks national weather, wildfire, smoke, and river feeds near each building every 5 to 15 minutes, runs a two-way roll call by text, and keeps an evacuation roster of every visitor checked in.
Can we keep our iPads and Brother printer?
Usually, yes. ArrivSure runs on a standard iPad with iPadOS 26 or later, in landscape or portrait, and prints badges on the Brother QL-820NWB or QL-820NWBc. Set it up yourself with our self-setup guide, or choose a Managed Kiosk that arrives configured.
