By GlobalDataAccording to the health system’s press statement, surgery centres offer cost savings, averaging 40% less in expenses than conventional hospitals.
Hospital fees have been a major driver of rising healthcare costs, with an estimated annual expenditure of $58bn on care at inappropriate service sites and more than $100bn wasted on low-value care.
Commons Clinic’s approach involves vertical integration, allowing them to control care and costs more effectively.
The health system offers all-inclusive care programmes for procedures such as total joint replacements and spinal fusions.
Its bundled payment system, both surgical and non-surgical, claims to offer cost savings for health plans and employers while delivering high-value care to plan members as an alternative to costly hospitals.
Commons Clinic co-founder and CEO Nick Aubin said: “With Commons Clinic, I believe there is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to foundationally change how speciality care is delivered, enabling us to win long-term consumer relationships, earn the power of top physicians’ loyalty, and capture the power of a rebuilt speciality care value chain.
“We’ve been fortunate enough to quickly gain traction, adding six of LA’s top surgeons to our group, opening three clinics, and securing a top five national health plan as our anchor value-based partner in our first two years of operations.”
