Hinge Health Announces HingeSelect - a High-performance Network Delivering Unified Musculoskeletal Care
Combined with Hinge Health's AI-powered exercise therapy program, HingeSelect adds access to high-quality in-person providers for members at up to 50% below PPO rates
Hinge Health, Inc. (NYSE:HNGE), today announced the launch of HingeSelect, a high-performance provider network for musculoskeletal (MSK) care. Hinge Health's technology and in-house orthopedic physicians triage and direct downstream care, prioritizing the most appropriate evidence-based treatment. When in-person care, such as imaging or injections is required, members are seamlessly connected to pre-vetted providers at up to 50% below PPO rates. Combined with Hinge Health's AI-powered digital exercise therapy, HingeSelect provides members with end-to-end MSK care while reducing costs for employers and health plans.
"We are moving towards a future where healthcare delivery itself will be automated via software and connected hardware - but many aspects of care still require in-person providers," said Daniel Perez, Co-founder/CEO of Hinge Health. "HingeSelect creates a unified care experience. Any care that cannot yet be delivered by our technology, can now be directed to high-quality in-person providers - guaranteeing consistent, evidence-based support every step of the way."
MSK conditions continue to rank as a top-two spend category for most employers.1 Orthopedic appointment wait times average 20 days2, and adherence to evidence-based care can vary significantly among providers.3 Finally, even when care is appropriate, inflated unit costs continue to drive up expenses for employers and members alike.4
Hinge Health is integrating its innovative digital platform with HingeSelect's high-performance provider network, offering:
- Unified Care. Members benefit from a seamless blend of digital and in-person care. Our technology triages people to receive the right treatment and drives adherence. When needed, our in-house orthopedic specialists are available in as little as 48 hours to diagnose and manage care comprehensively.
- High-performance provider network. Members have access to a curated network of local physical therapists, imaging centers, and physicians delivering high-value care. Members will be able to schedule in-person appointments directly from our app with visit records shared back with our care team.
- Lower unit prices. Bundled pricing allows for transparent, predictable costs up to 50% below PPO rates and reduces member cost sharing.
"HingeSelect is designed to be complementary to our health plan partners' existing care models," said Jim Pursley, President of Hinge Health. "By collaborating with health plans, we're building an end-to-end MSK care journey that unifies care across digital and in-person for our shared members."
