When you consider that one in every two adults in the U.S. suffers from a bone, joint or muscle condition, it’s no surprise that health plans spend more on musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions than any other chronic condition.
eviCore’s comprehensive MSK management solution applies evidence-based guidelines to encourage the utilization of medically necessary, high-value services such as non-surgical treatments, when clinically appropriate, and avoid low-value services that could lead to delays in care for painful MSK conditions and increased costs.
Leading health plans rely on eviCore to manage care, utilization and costs for specialized therapies, interventional pain, and spine and joint surgery. Two equally important areas that many overlook are site of care and implant management.
