One of the largest elective procedure spends in any company health plan is orthopedic surgery. On average, 20-30% of an employer’s overall health care costs are associated with orthopedic care.
That’s an overwhelming expense considering over 50% of orthopedic surgeries have been shown to be ineffective (1) and only 20% of surgeries are supported by at least one randomized controlled trial showing it is superior to a non-operative alternative (2).

* This data was calculated based on the gross savings realized from substituting percutaneous orthobiologic procedures for invasive, elective orthopedic surgeries within our pilot program in Des Moines, IA. Now that we have more data from more clients, we will update our cost savings on a quarterly basis using a sampling methodology, later this year we will be introducing an actuarial based process.
