Paradigm Wins Prestigious Health Plan Innovation Roundtable (HPIR) Traction Award

Paradigm's Surgical Implant Cost Management Solution Recognized by Health Plans

WALNUT CREEK, Calif., Dec. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Paradigm, an industry leader in solving catastrophic and complex health care challenges and improving lives, today announced its Surgical Implant Cost Management Solution has won the Fall 2022 Health Plan Innovation Roundtable (HPIR) Traction Award. Following a rigorous selection process, Paradigm was chosen to participate in HPIR's first-ever summit which brought together health plans from across their four cohorts. After presenting to 12 plans from across the country, Paradigm was honored as a recipient of the Traction Award, an honor recognizing the companies with the most health plan interest.

Today, 21% of surgical spend is tied to implants, and as surgical implant technology grows more complex, it's become increasingly difficult for payers to manage costs. Paradigm's Implant Solution is proven to reduce surgical implant costs by 25% more than typical industry outcomes, according to an independent study commissioned with Boston Strategic Partners.

"Paradigm is honored to be recognized by leading regional health plans for our innovative, easy-to-implement approach to surgical implant cost management," said Chris Pricco, Chief Networks and Operations Officer, Paradigm. "We are proud to offer a compelling value proposition that is backed by proven results and experience to health insurers, serving more than 75 clients since 2015. We have taken great care to ensure our program integrates seamlessly with payers' current processes to offer transparent, objective, and defensible pricing that leverages our proprietary database, real-time aggregated data, and domain expertise to produce tangible value and significant cost savings."
