integrated musculoskeletal care
Employers
Throughout North America, musculoskeletal care typically ranks as the top three spend for both group health plans and worker's compensation. Over the past five years, IMC has worked closely with large, self-insured employers to decrease their health care costs associated with musculoskeletal conditions by improving clinical outcomes and increasing employee satisfaction and productivity. This enables IMC to offer self-ensured employers up to 25 percent cost saving guarantees for all musculoskeletal-related cases. IMC's unique musculoskeletal Outcomes Accountable™ solutions uses a combination of claims data analysis, training, quality-assured clinical care and prevention to achieve these outcomes and significant health care savings for our clients.

The IMC Guarantee
Patients deserve access to the best care available and employer/payers want to make sure they are getting value for their investment in the healthcare system. Creating the best clinical outcomes for the lowest cost is defined as “high value” care. Identifying clinical partners capable of delivering this level of care has long been a challenge for patients and payers. IMC recognized this challenge and developed its network of high performance clinicians/clinics to provide greater access to those suffering from MSDs. Our years of experience working with self-insured employers and health plans and measuring both clinical and economic outcomes for their plan members suffering from MSDs allows us to make guarantees for the IMC program. At IMC we guarantee a 25% reduction in the MSK spend compared to your historical benchmarks. Let IMC's data science team analyze your claims and outline the opportunity for savings.
Outcomes Data Collection
Meaningful outcomes matter for patients suffering from MSDs. That's why IMC utilizes scientifically validated indices and proven benchmarks to measure specific Patient Reported Outcomes for improvements in function, reductions in pain and disability, and sustainability. Every IMC patient at every subsequent visit is re-assessed under IMC's strict benchmarks to measure clinical effectiveness of their prescribed treatment plan. Patients who do not timely meet IMC's outcome benchmarks are escalated to IMC's certified clinician panel for a more specialized care plan. Approximately 90 percent of IMC patients report a reduction in pain or eliminate their pain altogether and restore full function.
Claims Data Analytics
Did you know that more than 40% of musculoskeletal cases are misdiagnosed? This means almost half of MSD patients have treatment directed towards the wrong body part. A lack of reliable assessments and diagnostics, critical gaps in physician training for MSDs, and poor clinical quality assurance mechanisms drive this phenomena. The amount of misdiagnosis in the medical claims data creates pollution making it nearly impossible to rely on big data to inform or create solutions.
IMC recognized the remedy for this phenomena was to standardize clinical care around a reliable assessment model allowing our providers to get the diagnosis correct more often. Precise diagnoses create a better match between patient and treatment and produce clean data. Through this more precise model of diagnostics, payers have access to more reliable information about incidence, prevalence and cost which develops more robust predictive models and forecasts for their healthcare spend.
IMCs data scientists and subject matter experts have a deep understanding of clinical and economic processes that drive patient outcomes and costs. Our team uses machine learning to extract critical intelligence from clinical and economic data to confirm program benchmarks and predict emerging patterns.
