Save on MSK through easy access to local experts.

Most self-insured employers spend way too much on orthopedic care. Let's change that. By partnering with top local MSK (musculoskeletal) providers, Hatch makes it easy to offer employees an MSK program featuring immediate expert guidance and easy access to top-quality, cost-effective care across the entire MSK journey.

Problem

MSK Cost

We spend too much and get too little with traditional MSK care.

1 in 2 will experience MSK condition this year.¹
75% of employers say it’s their highest spend item.²
$381 billion yearly cost to employers (and rising)³

Consumer Confusion

It’s too easy to make a bad MSK Decision.

And it’s not your team's fault. Navigating MSK is complex and often counterintuitive.

40% of PCP visits are MSK related⁵, but up to 60% of PCPs misdiagnose MSK conditions due to lack of training.⁶
MSK procedures vary widely in price—up to 313% in the same market for the same procedure.⁷
Members may want to see a specialist but face a 26-day wait for a new appointment.⁸

Misaligned Incentives

Current solutions leave gaps in the MSK journey

Direct primary care & care navigation Simplify the employer-sponsored care journey, but need augmentation to help members find the right MSK access–in every form–at every step.

Traditional health systems Offer maximum choice but lead to waste and suboptimal utilization as incentives, cost, and quality lack the transparency needed for informed decisions.

Digital MSK solutions Can be a great conservative care option, but they struggle with low utilization and fuzzy ROI and are not always the sound orthopedic answer—they are incentivized to avoid surgery, potentially delaying needed care.

Surgical COEs While they may shine a spotlight on where quality care is available, they lack the incentive to be cost-effective or to encourage preventative or conservative care earlier in the journey.

Solution

Hatch connects you with local MSK experts, helping your people make smarter care decisions.
