Study Links 79% MSK Cost Savings to Upstream, Conservative Care

Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions rank among the costliest in the U.S., driven by avoidable surgeries and high-cost post-acute care. Controlling this spend is a clinical and economic imperative for health plans.

In this 2026 TailorCare Savings Study, discover how matching members to the right level of MSK care earlier through 1:1 clinically guided navigation significantly reduces surgical spend and post-acute reliance for health plans based on propensity score-matched data of Medicare Advantage populations.

Key findings:

  • 79% lower MSK spend for self-care members vs. matched controls.
  • 27% fewer ambulatory surgery center procedures among PT-adherent members.
  • 93% downstream savings on SNF and home health for members on a PT pathway.
