Digital MSK Strategies and Protera Health

Discover how next-generation digital musculoskeletal (MSK) care is transforming outcomes and dramatically reducing costs for health plans. Dr. Eric Bricker breaks down why MSK issues account for up to 31% of total health plan spend, the hidden drivers of cost (surgery, imaging, ER visits), and why traditional “benefits-grade” digital tools often fall short.

Learn how clinical-grade, physician-led digital MSK solutions—like the integrated practice unit model pioneered by Protera Health—deliver surgery-level pain reduction, improved mental health outcomes, and an average $6,000 savings per member per year with a 4:1 ROI, backed by real claims data. This is the future of affordable, high-quality MSK care.
