Orthopedic Business Review
Will Kurtz, M.D.
The Orthopedic Business Review discusses business topics at the intersection of orthopedics and technology.
Direct to Employer Contracting in Orthopedics
Direct to employer contracting involves large orthopedic groups contracting with large companies to provide MSK services without going through a third party administrator (TPA).
Will MSK Providers prevail over MSK Digital Health?
Which one will happen first?
Will Digital Health Companies learn how to provide competent orthopedic care or will orthopedic surgeons learn how to create a good digital experience for their patients?
How Digital Health could disrupt orthopedic providers
Digital health provides new ways to distribute musculoskeletal care which often allows an outsider to disrupt an incumbent. Will orthopedic providers embrace virtual care or be disrupted by it?
Class Action Lawsuits against Medical Providers for data breaches

A business case for physician extenders in an orthopedic practice?
Orthopedic Physician extenders can be both an asset and liability to an orthopedic group. How you structure their contracts may determine what you get.
