What’s going on?

Avoidable complications and related expenses tethered to untreated modifiable medical conditions before surgery are seldom quantified and often under appreciated. Consequently, cost avoidance and better outcomes are forfeited if modifiable conditions are not optimized before surgery.

The pathway to better patient health

Assess and Screen

We have reengineered the PeriOperative intake process so that screening and triage for efficient and effective patient readiness before surgery can be achieved to lock in best-of clinical outcomes and lower episode of care costs.

How do we engage clients?

PeriOptions can stand up clinics in specific areas where MLRs for surgical episodes of care are worrisome and provide guidance for appropriate utilization. Fees are based on two inputs: start-up costs and sustaining operations. Fees are based on volume projections, guarantees and fee schedules. Fee schedules may be depended on episode of care cost reduction from baseline and management of trend line, as well as longitudinal outcomes.

PeriOperative Medicine Service

We will help your plan enrollees get ready for their surgery and coordinate their pre- and post- operative treatments and transitions of care. Optimizing their health status by assessing, risk stratifying and improving modifiable conditions, overall health, activity levels and nutrition before and after their procedures will reduce waste, inefficiency and help them get back to work and life as soon as possible.

“Our episode of care cost for specific surgeries had been spiralling out of control for years – a result of medical complications after surgery and the resulting ICU utilizations, long hospital stays, and avoidable readmissions. PeriOptions’ rollout of services across our network helped us rapidly change course.”
