DENVER, June 13, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As more than 124 million people in the United States face the challenge of Musculoskeletal (MSK)-related issues(1), CirrusMD and RecoveryOne are announcing a partnership to help improve access to care, supported by virtual primary care physicians and on-demand physical therapy resources.
Effectively treating MSK issues is an important challenge in the U.S. today. Recently it was estimated that MSK conditions incur total medical care expenditures of about $240 billion, or around 2.9% of the U.S. GDP(2).
CirrusMD has created a virtual first primary care platform that connects patients with a doctor in less than 60 seconds, providing instantaneous care across all 50 states. RecoveryOne assists people struggling with MSK issues to achieve optimal recovery, bringing together a physical treatment plan with all aspects of health — encompassing both mind and body. Together, CirrusMD and RecoveryOne will provide a seamless model of care for MSK patients that enables treatment and referrals from physicians to ensure the best mode of care is determined, then delivered and supported by a personalized recovery Pathway™.
“At CirrusMD we are committed to providing whole-person care that includes access to efficient and efficacious care,” said Jamie Hall, President & CEO, CirrusMD. “RecoveryOne’s virtual approach to patient MSK care aligns perfectly with our focus on providing accessible quality care for everyone, especially those underserved by the current US healthcare system.”
“We take a very personal approach to patient recovery,” said Mark Luck Olsen, CEO, RecoveryOne. “As we develop solutions, we ensure we’re upholding the best practices in healthcare and adhering to a rigorous process for managing risk. Through this partnership, we will enable better/faster MSK care delivery for virtual/advanced primary care by equipping them with the know-how to assess, triage, and appropriately care for MSK conditions.”
