Digital Platform to Revolutionize Musculoskeletal Care
LOUISVILLE, KY / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2023 / Confluent Health, a leading national provider of musculoskeletal (MSK) health services, is excited to announce the expansion of its value-based MSK health product, mōviHealth-the first of its kind. This fully integrated hybrid program, centered around identifying, preventing, and treating MSK conditions, is now available to employers and health plans, for employees, health plan members, and their families to easily access MSK care, improve patient outcomes, and reduce MSK costs.
Initially introduced in 2021 as the nation's only fully turn-key MSK program for employers, mōviHealth, represents a proven, value-based approach for MSK care by delivering cost savings and accelerated recovery for individuals grappling with MSK issues, a $420 billion cost driver to the U.S. health system and consuming one in every six employer-sponsored healthcare plan dollars.
The mōviHealth platform enables our physical therapists to create personalized treatment plans that use in-person care, virtual care, and digital solutions to manage MSK conditions in the best way for each individual. This approach delivers better engagement and better outcomes leading employers and health plans to risk-adjusted cost reductions of 30% to 50% on MSK spend.
"As a long-standing advocate for access to care, I'm thrilled to introduce mōviHealth to employers and health plans as a truly first-of-its kind MSK product that advances value-based musculoskeletal care," said Confluent Health CEO, Dr. Kristi Henderson, DNP, FAAN. "We're proud to meet the needs of those actively seeking comprehensive solutions that prioritize the best possible care for physical health while controlling costs."
In recent years, technology companies have raced to address the mounting expenses associated with MSK injuries and conditions through digital-only approaches. However, Confluent Health recognizes that employees and their families expect a comprehensive blend of services available when and where they need it-whether in-clinic, virtually, or digitally. The mōviHealth digital platform and associated app simplify the process of accessing care with licensed physical therapists, eliminating lengthy wait times, and ensuring availability nationwide.
"At our core we are a clinical delivery organization that has made substantial investments to change the fragmented MSK care delivery model, enabling individuals easy access to physical therapy for musculoskeletal care, whenever and wherever they need it," said Brooks Newman, Chief Innovation Officer at Confluent Health. "Employees, health plan members, and their families can now enjoy a seamless platform to access physical therapy as the first-line treatment for MSK conditions and related care by blending in-clinic, virtual, and digital."
"Our commitment to innovation in musculoskeletal care and value-based health is unwavering," said Larry Benz, PT, DPT, OCS, MBA, MAPP, FAPTA, Founder and Executive Chairman of Confluent Health.
"With mōviHealth, we've finally solved the bottleneck of getting employees PT first by offering on-demand appointments with a real physical therapist. Allowing employees MSK experts at their fingertips, on their own time and terms, makes it easier than ever to provide the right care at the right time, which helps employers save money on their healthcare costs."
For employers and health plans seeking comprehensive musculoskeletal care solutions that enhance well-being and control costs while embracing value-based care, mōviHealth offers a straightforward implementation process, backed by over 50 years of clinical experience. It is accessible wherever their employees or health plan members are located, delivering measurable cost savings while fostering a value-based approach to musculoskeletal health.
