Financial Management
Creating Physician-Owned Bundled Payments
Case Study by Dan B. Murray, Chief Medical Officer for Specialty Practices at OptumCare, former CEO of OrthoCarolina
At OrthoCarolina, a multi-site independent orthopedic physician group in the Charlotte area, we lowered cost by 10-30% and dramatically improved outcomes for hip and knee replacement surgery. We did this by creating a standardized coordinated care program and pairing it with commercial bundled payment contracts in which the surgeons took primary financial risk.
