Neurology Mobile System Associates, Inc. (NMSA) is pleased to announce they are expanding a new Savings Program to Managed Care Plans. NMSA offers to provide intraoperative monitoring during surgical procedures at hospitals and specialized neurological examinations, including Nerve Conductions, EMG’s, and Specialized Ultrasounds at physician’s offices, clinics, and other settings. The new program will enable Managed Care Plans to save up to $10M/year!
The NMSA Saving Programs for Managed Care Plans offers an average savings of 25% on intraoperative monitoring services to most Health Plans. These services are standard protocol for a variety of surgical procedures and routinely provided in all hospitals. For Health Plans with 300,000 members, the current cost of these services is estimated at $6.6M. NMSA now offers to provide these same services at $4.6M, which is a savings estimated at $2M/year.
In addition, NMSA offers to collaborate with Managed Care Plans and perform preemptive diagnostic testing to assist in diagnosing members prior to a major healthcare incident. The goal is to prevent the member having to be hospitalized and thus significantly reducing costs for the managed care plans. The services offered by the Preventative Program are now available and can be established at Physician Offices, Health Centers, Clinics, and other medical offices. Services are preformed for patients with pain and/or circulation conditions, including those with Diabetes, Disc Herniation, Radiculopathy, Polyneuropathy, Migraines, Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, Knee and Shoulder Tears, and those with Cervical, Lumbar, or Thoracic Pain. Services can be arranged on a routine scheduled day or with 24-hour notice. The estimated saving for these services offered by NMSA is another $5M – $8M via the Preventative Programs.
Marilyn Alfaro, President of NMSA, states “We are pleased to launch these new Savings Programs and provide Managed Care Plans an opportunity to significantly decrease costs by simply arranging for us to provide the services.” “And the Preventative Programs not only offer additional savings, they increase member satisfaction,” added Michael Alfaro, EVP & COO of NMSA.
