Outcomes-Based Contracting™ The Value-Based Approach for Optimal Health with Chiropractic Services
The Center for Health Value Innovation, November 12, 2010
There is sufficient basis for plan sponsors to reevaluate their current chiropractic benefit for treatment of neck and low back pain. Plan sponsors should work with their health plans to review their own claims experience with respect to treatments for neck and low back pain, especially within the employee health care benefits. This analysis provides the framework for incorporating chiropractic, for low back and neck pain, into a value based benefit design in order to derive the best health value for the payer and patient.
