Digestive Health Claims Costs Explained

Digestive Health Claims Costs Explained.

A significant portion of healthcare claims stems from a common area: Digestive Health.
• 61% of people experience GI symptoms every week
• 30% of health plan members have a GI-related claim
• 15% will require high-cost GI care annually, costing an average of $25,000 per person

Patients wait an average of 48 days to see a GI doctor. So people often end up in the ER, or with another provider type and aren’t getting better. Only 38% of patients with GI conditions are satisfied with their care.

Studies show multidisciplinary care delivered by a team of specialized providers is a superior approach with better outcomes. But this model hasn’t been easily accessible or traditionally covered by insurance.

With telemedicine and incentive innovation, we see 98% patient satisfaction, 64% reduction in ER visits, and $10K+ savings per patient in the first six months.

This gets at the heart of the change that needs to happen in healthcare today.
