Presented by: Thomas Downey, Executive Vice President, Sales, Carisk Partners
The cost of surgical implants can often be a pain point for workers compensation payers. The cost of the implants themselves range from low-cost to expensive and there are state-specific regulations that make it challenging to ascertain the true and fair cost for billing by facilities and practitioners. In recent years, we have seen a shift to cost containment programs, however they differ greatly in their approaches.
This program reviews a case study comparison of surgical implant cost savings and demonstrates the value of one comprehensive solution that works to determine appropriate implant reimbursement providing significant savings to the client.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the current challenge with surgical implant management cost containment
- Review a case study demonstrating how Carisk was able to achieve significant savings for its client
- Assess the Carisk program and how it delivers objective, credible and defensible claim reductions and negotiations
