Gilsbar Announces Innovative New Partnership with Regenexx to Reduce Elective Orthopedic Surgical Spend
Gilsbar is excited to announce a first ever partnership for both their employees and Gilsbar employer groups that provides access to non-surgical orthopedic alternatives
COVINGTON, La., July 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- A new partnership between Gilsbar, one of the nation's largest privately held health and benefits management organizations, and Regenexx, a world-class interventional orthopedic clinic network, offers employer groups as well as the Gilsbar employees access to a new healthcare benefit that is a less invasive and less costly solution for orthopedic conditions which significantly reduces the high cost of musculoskeletal care in a healthcare plan.
As customers choose to adopt the appropriate plan document language, Gilsbar's self-funded clients will have access to the Regenexx procedures which effectively intervene on 70% of orthopedic injuries and conditions where surgery was previously the only solution.* This interventional approach enables employers to save up to 70% on their orthopedic costs while providing best-in-class surgery alternatives with Regenexx's proprietary orthobiologic procedures. Employers who partner with Regenexx not only report a remarkable drop in employees' need for orthopedic surgery, they also show less absenteeism.
"After a thorough review of the Regenexx Corporate Program, we added it as an option for our employees and our clients. Our clients now have access to add this cost-savings strategy and Best-In-Class care – a true WIN/WIN for all involved," says Doug Layman, President of Gilsbar Health & Life. The Regenexx Corporate program perfectly aligns with Gilsbar's commitment as a health & benefits administrator who heightens productivity, improves outcomes, and betters their clients' bottom lines.
"The Regenexx Corporate Program has quickly become an essential part of our partners healthcare plan as we help employers improve their musculoskeletal care model and strategically decrease the number of avoidable orthopedic surgeries occurring year after year. We look forward to partnering with Gilsbar and their clients to offer them this solution that employees choose over surgery a majority of the time when given the choice," says Jason Hellickson, CEO Regenexx.
