How a Top U.S. Health Plan is on track to save $30 million in healthcare costs* in 2024 with Sword

Since partnering with Sword Health in 2022, the top health plan has seen staggering results. We’re excited to share the full story behind the projected $30M¹ in healthcare savings for 2024 - and how you can learn from their success.

Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are the number one cause of chronic pain in the US². Traditional physical therapy leaves 50% of patients dropping out after four sessions³. This compromises an efficient recovery, with many people continuing to suffer from physical pain and conditional movement.

As a large health insurer in the U.S., covering more than 7 million members, our client was committed to finding a solution: after a robust evaluation process, they selected Sword Thrive as their MSK care solution - a resource available for their health plan members. Through Sword, members get access to world-class clinical care for MSK related conditions from the comfort of home (or wherever they are).
