5 Reasons MSK is Your Greatest ROI Move

Musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions are no longer just a “top five” concern. They are a top cost driver for health plans and employers and the most manageable of the medical spend.

Despite rising annual spend, most solutions still aren’t bending the cost curve. A few reasons why that’s about to change:

  • MSK Is the #2 Driver of Health Plan Spend: At $420B annually, MSK spend is larger than heart disease and diabetes combined, and second only to cancer.
  • Rising Utilization: MSK claims climbed 6% between 2023 and 2024, and reactive care models aren’t keeping pace.
  • Massive Cost Avoidance Potential: Personalized MSK management can lower total medical costs by up to 70% per member.

That’s only three. See all 5 reasons, including two most health plans overlook.
