NASHVILLE, TN, & NEW YORK, NY, -- DECEMBER 19, 2023
Pearl Health, a leading technology company focused on physician enablement and risk bearing in value-based care, and Vori Health, a nationwide specialty medical practice that provides patients virtual-first access to a holistic team of musculoskeletal (MSK) care experts, have partnered to improve back, neck, and orthopedic care for Traditional Medicare patients.
Pearl Health helps primary care organizations deliver more proactive, whole-patient care through data insights, financial tools, practice enablement technology, and a broad range of value-based care services offered in collaboration with a growing network of specialty partners. Pearl’s partnership with Vori Health will give primary care providers access to Vori’s care teams, which provide comprehensive, whole-person care for any muscle or joint condition. As a value driver for primary care organizations, this referral pathway ensures that all referred MSK patients gain access to appropriate, non-operative care as a first line of treatment.

“Back and joint pain is a significant problem impacting both patients and primary care physicians,” says Ryan Grant, MD, Vori Health co-founder and Chief Executive Officer. "More than 1 in 2 adults experience a musculoskeletal condition every year and most turn to their PCPs for help. We are thrilled to partner with Pearl Health to integrate with their PCPs and simplify access to appropriate, evidence-based care. Everyone wins when patients get the right care up front and avoid unnecessary procedures, scans, and surgeries.”
Vori Health will deliver musculoskeletal care to Medicare patients, providing convenient access to both virtual and in-person visits led by experts in muscle and joint care, improving care coordination and reducing unnecessary surgery, injections, and imaging utilization. Unlike traditional MSK care journeys which send patients between specialists and procedures without a cohesive plan for treatment, Vori’s integrated approach to care brings doctors, physical therapists, and health coaches together to get to the root cause of their condition and create a personalized treatment plan at their first visit. Patients get a clear care plan with less confusion and unnecessary procedures, reducing their pain levels and improving their mental and physical health.
”We’re excited to be partnering with Vori Health, whose innovative, integrated approach to treating musculoskeletal conditions improves outcomes for patients with simple, reliable, and highly personalized care. It’s so important for us to give PCPs in the Pearl Community access to mission-driven specialty care partners like Vori as they embrace value-based care for their patients.”
— Dr. Cameron Berg, MD, EVP, Clinical Strategy of Pearl Health
