Changing Lives with Functional and Digital Technologies
Statistics show that back pain is expensive:
The cause of low back pain is poorly understood, and medical professionals rarely agree how to best treat patients. This creates tremendous hardship for patients who continuously re-utilize healthcare services as they are prescribed expensive pain medications, diagnostic tests, spinal injections and invasive surgical procedures. Of which many do not provide lasting results for the patient.
Most low back pain patients also suffer from comorbidities including opioid addiction, obesity, high blood pressure, depression, and anxiety as their physical and emotional health decline. The pain and suffering caused from low back pain is overwhelming for patients, and expensive for payers.
Apex Population Heath is a multidisciplinary approach to care that commercial payers can offer their members to help them relieve low back pain by treating the “body and brain” because chronic low back pain affects a patient’s physical and emotional well-being.
Apex offers patients and insurers an innovative, evidence-based program for low back pain delivered in the convenience and safety of a patient’s home. The program decreases low back pain and disability, improves quality of life, and restores normal lumbar function for one of the most prevalent chronic conditions facing patients today to change their lives.
Apex also reduces the direct and indirect expenses commercial insurers pay related to the reutilization of health care services for the treatment of chronic low back pain.
The Apex Difference
Patient Identification & Selection:
Apex identifies high-cost patients by claims-based analysis to drive targeted results.
Engagement & Enrollment:
Once the appropriate patient is identified, outreach and engagement campaigns encourage enrollment and participation.
Safety & Convenience of Home:
MedX at home improves patient outcomes, increases compliance, and makes the program convenient.
Health Coaching:
Provides support and encouragement to empower patients’ success and motivation.
Excellent Patient Outcomes:
Patient outcomes are exceptional and have been shown from internal analysis to exceed the MCID threshold for clinical effectiveness.
Digital Therapeutics:
Guides patients through activities to increase upper and lower body strength, along with meditation activities to reduce stress, anxiety and promote sleep and relaxation.
Research with MedX has shown that 92% of spinal surgeries can be prevented when patients increase their low back strength and range of motion. This research showed a savings of approximately $3.4 million dollars from the prevention of surgical procedures.
By utilizing the MedX lumbar extension device, Apex Population Health offers insurance companies an approach to significantly reduce costs related to low back pain by better outcome results, the prevention of expensive spinal procedures, and reduced utilization of health care services.
