Surgeons deliver the highest value component of an orthopedic episode of care, but current reimbursement models sell orthopedic surgeons short. Massive inefficiencies within the world of fee-for-service (FFS) are costing surgeons significant money, while value-based care initiatives consistently undervalue the surgeon’s role. What does it take to recenter orthopedic payments on the surgeon?

This panel will provide a real-world perspective on the evolution of payment models and ways orthopedic surgeons and their practices can change the current paradigm:

​

• What self-insured employers want and need from MSK providers

• Real-world experience in preparing and scaling prospective payment models

• Tech-enabled MSK care delivery.  How is your market changing? 

• Beyond the date of service.  As MSK groups gain the infrastructure to manage risk, what is next?
