Musculoskeletal Center of Excellence

Overview

Having a Musculoskeletal Center of Excellence solution for employees can be critical for employers seeking to keep their employees healthy over time. Whether an employee is getting their hip replaced or unsure about proceeding with a spine surgery, they can expect to receive elite care from the most sought-after physicians in the world.

When employers implement a carve-out benefit, it allows 100% coverage for the employee as well as their covered dependents. Employees and their dependents receive a appropriateness of care review to ensure surgery is necessary. If surgery is deemed necessary, our team can work to support travel arrangements, provide a dedicated patient navigator, and implement exceptional service for every program participant. By helping take care of the details, patients can focus on what is most important — their health and recovery.
