THE PROBLEM

The traditional medical process of review and approval for musculoskeletal

care has failed the employee, employer and insurance company. Many large

insurance companies approve over 97% of all requests for

surgery, MRI, narcotics and pain management. Few, if any options, exist to

shift the paradigm of spine care. The outcomes to support the escalating rise

in in invasive spine care, narcotic use, pain management and imaging are not

in existence.

THE SOLUTION

bodysmart is a conservative continuum of care following evidence based guidelines and best practice clinical pathways. It is supported by an interactive online care center which prevents or avoids the current costly medical pathway to the surgeons office by supporting the PCP and advocating for the best spine care.

bodysmart directly provides a new pathway of musculoskeletal treatment and is a conservative model within the medical home of the primary care physician forgoing expensive medical treatments.
