Fast access to musculoskeletal treatment

AXA PPP healthcare is introducing a new pathway for corporate healthcare schemes, offering fast access to the right treatment for musculoskeletal conditions. 

The musculoskeletal health pathway includes the opportunity for self-referral without the need to visit a GP; an in-house team of clinical experts to provide advice and case management at all stages of need and preferred partner arrangements for physiotherapy delivery. 

Musculoskeletal problems are the leading cause of sickness absence, accounting for over a quarter of all days lost. 

Their treatment accounts for 35% of PMI claims costs.

By using this new approach, the insurer is confident it can cut the cost of this expenditure by avoiding unnecessary  or inappropriate referrals or interventions. 

Jan Vickery of AXA PPP healthcare says, “By agreeing robust, evidence based treatment plans, the focus is firmly on getting the right clinical outcome.”
