Deductibles and co-insurance are rising. Since IPG lowers the total cost of your surgical procedure, we also lower your out-of-pocket costs. IPG also handles the billing, coordination, and reimbursement of the surgical devices used in your procedure which helps your facility focus more on providing you with the best care and focus less on the administrative work. A win-win!
- Lower Out-of-Pocket Costs
- High Quality, Affordable Care
COST SAVINGS
-
Price Variation by Device Example:
In the example, all three devices are functionally and clinically equivalent, however these comparable devices vary 200 to 300% in cost! The IPG model generates immediate client savings by 1) leveraging our device pricing and vast manufacturer network, 2) accessing our device selection tool to assist the surgeon in optimal device/patient/procedure matching and 3) enabling the procedure to be performed at the most cost effective, high quality site of care. -
Price Variation by Site of Care Example:
In this example, the cost for an ACL Reconstruction procedure in the same geographic area is 50% higher at surgical facility A than B. In addition to device savings, our model also generates significant and immediate savings by ensuring that the procedure is performed at a high quality and affordable site of care.
