Upswing Health - 3x3x3 Challenge with Steve Schutzer, MD
Upswing Health reduces orthopedic costs through virtual care from first symptom through surgical recovery, helping members avoid unnecessary care and giving employers tools to manage orthopedic spend.
Transcript:
What is Upswing Health?
Upswing is a virtual first orthopedic company founded by orthopedic surgeons to tackle the persistently high cost, fragmented patient experience, and the wide variation in outcomes across orthopedic care in the US. We replace that disconnected system with a clinically-led virtual front door that gives every patient a consistent pathway from their first symptom forward.
How is Upswing Health different?
Upswing is different in two distinct and significant ways. First, immediate clinical engagement. Our technology engages members at the moment of injury or onset of symptoms, helping them understand what may be wrong and what to do about it, often avoiding unnecessary ER, urgent care, and physician office visits. From there, every member has access to an Upswing athletic trainer within minutes, seven days a week, and to an Upswing orthopedic physician within 24 hours. Care begins straight away with guided injury rehabilitation, non-opioid prescription medications, and advanced imaging when clinically indicated, all without navigating the traditional MSK system. Second, we close the loop on the patient journey end to end. Through our partnerships with HealthMe and the OrthoValue Network, the roughly 15% of Upswing members who need surgery now have access to transparent bundled ASC pricing nationwide. Upswing stays with the member from the first symptom through surgical recovery, one coordinated orthopedic pathway from start to finish.
Who is a good fit for Upswing Health?
Anyone looking to substantially reduce orthopedic spend while delivering a tightly coordinated member experience. That includes self-funded employers and Taft Hartley plans, and their ecosystem of consultants, TPAs, captives, and stop loss carriers. We're also expanding through ICHRA platforms and PEOs, as well as clinical organizations taking financial risk, where Upswing can co-manage orthopedic patients alongside local care teams. Remember this, the least expensive unnecessary MSK procedure is the one that never happens. If you're responsible for MSK outcomes and spend, we'd like to talk to you.
Take fewer bad meetings. Miss fewer good ones.
Anytime someone asks for a meeting, ask for their 3x3x3 Challenge first. If they can't be clear, concise, and compelling in 3 minutes, why give them 30?
