We’re reimagining what is possible for every moment of health, including how we can help members manage back pain. Back pain is a common and costly problem, and a leading cause of disability.1 Members can face extensive treatment that can increase costs for them and for your clients. Chronic cases can also lower workplace productivity.
The Anthem Back Pain Guide program can help reduce the risk of chronic health issues and minimize complications and recurrences. Our predictive models allow for earlier identification to bridge gaps between member needs and the care they receive. This innovative solution will support members and help them work with their treating provider to find the right treatment path for back pain relief, improving outcomes and reducing the need for more expensive care in the future. Back Pain Guide Specialists offer personalized guidance with a 6-week online coaching program focused on daily exercise and education.
This program started July 19, 2021. It doesn’t require any changes to member benefits. Through November, we’ll contact members who may benefit from the Anthem Back Pain Guide program. This program only applies to Fully Insured groups.
