Spine

Medical and surgical spine care is on the rise across the country...In fact, spine services are among the Top 3 offerings within a musculoskeletal program, whether on the hospital or physician practice side. There is also great potential for profit – if the program is well-run clinically, operationally, and financially. Indeed, managing both the high costs and broad patient mix is key to remaining on the front-end curve of this dynamic field.

Corazon’s knowledge and expertise can bring positive impact to the full spectrum of spine care at your organization. With financial changes on the horizon, and a growing patient base with increasingly complex conditions that require top-of-the-line technology and physician expertise, programs can be at risk for declining profit margins. Corazon can make a difference in both the revenue and expense side of the Spine equation through assistance with:

• Preparedness for bundled payments
• Appropriate case selection
• Coding / Billing / Documentation
• Implant Selection
• Rehab Components
• Outreach
• And more...

While there are no national standards guiding the creation of Spine Programs or Centers of Excellence within the specialty, most hospitals treat patients at some point of the continuum, be it for routine back problems or complex open spinal surgeries. Corazon can work with you to ensure you make the most of your spine program – regardless of the scope – so you can realize the full growth opportunity and profit potential available.
