Strategies for lowering MSK care costs
To reduce MSK costs, you need a way to deliver MSK care that supports better outcomes. The solution you choose must be able to:
Break down barriers to care
Traditional care can be inconvenient, inequitable, and inaccessible to many.
Cut the number of unnecessary surgeries
Traditional MSK care tends to favor reactive, risky solutions like opioids and surgery.
Address the needs of high-risk members
At least 1 in 10 people are at risk for high-cost MSK utilization over the next 12 months.⁵
Getting your money’s worth from an MSK program.
Measuring success is crucial to implementing a sustainable care solution, since so much of an organization’s MSK spend is concentrated on its costliest employees. There are plenty of MSK programs to choose from, and ‘looking under the hood’ is critical. Many make claims based on anecdotes and promises, rather than concrete proof of success.
