The MSK Money Pit
New analysis by Sword Health reveals that $10.3 million is wasted every hour of every day. We estimate that up to 18% of all musculoskeletal (MSK) care doesn’t follow clinical guidelines and could have been prevented. This amounts to as much as $90 billion in avoidable expenditures every year.
By leveraging predictive AI, Sword is now capable of reaching members before they go down the path of unnecessary treatment, drastically reducing medical spend.
