How Healthcare Quality, Cost Transparency Affect your Bottom-Line

High dollar surgical procedures are one of the top cost centers for a health plan. Planned orthopedic surgeries are increasingly common among Americans including people under age 55. The number of knee replacement surgical procedures alone increased by 17% from 2010-2017. The number of cardiovascular surgeries in North America is also trending up and represents the costliest of all inpatient surgeries. And, approximately one-third of American women will have had a hysterectomy by age 60. Studies show that there is great variability in the quality and cost of these high-cost surgical procedures.
