Matthew Hall, benefits strategy manager at Koch, is tackling some of the biggest issues in healthcare today: musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, high overall costs, and lack of employee engagement. In the last year he has made progress by teaming up with vendors that support empowering workers in their health and wellness journey.
Contending with approximately 10,000 MSK-related claims per year, many of them surgery-related, Hall utilized MSK digital physical therapy platform Hinge Health to direct employees to more conservative care. Less than 10% of those with MSK pain were taking part in physical therapy before seeking more costly solutions. Hall worked with Hinge to develop HingeSelect — a program that includes digital exercise therapy, virtual orthopedic specialist visits, and in-person care through a single platform.
