Vori Health, a leading virtual-first specialty medical practice focusing on muscle and joint pain treatment, has formed a strategic partnership with Contigo Health, a health benefits platform specializing in direct-to-employer and direct-to-provider relationships. Together, they have introduced a comprehensive solution for musculoskeletal (MSK) benefits catering to self-funded employers. This collaborative program integrates Contigo Health's orthopedic surgical Centers of Excellence (COE) with Vori's renowned virtual non-operative MSK care model. The joint initiative, known as the Contigo Health Centers of Excellence 360 Orthopedics Program, aims to enhance outcomes and reduce costs for millions of employees nationwide grappling with back and joint pain.

The program offers a streamlined experience for members of self-funded employer health plans, addressing orthopedic care needs comprehensively. Enrolled members dealing with issues such as back, hip, or knee pain gain access to convenient telehealth services, including physician-directed screening, virtual physical therapy, and nutrition counseling. The program covers medical optimization for candidates considering surgery and post-operative programs to facilitate a swift and safe return to work and daily life. Individuals in need of surgery can leverage Contigo Health's network of high-quality, vetted surgical partners. Employers can opt for bundled services, ensuring streamlined administration, accountable utilization, and more predictable healthcare costs.

This partnership is particularly timely as musculoskeletal issues, affecting one in two adults in the U.S., persist as a leading cause of global disability and escalating healthcare expenses. While surgical COEs have made strides in addressing some challenges, the lack of sufficient access to evidence-based non-operative care remains a significant concern.
