In today’s healthcare landscape, rising medical costs and uneven quality have become common challenges for both patients and employers. Many individuals face confusing bills, unpredictable expenses, and inconsistent outcomes after surgery. This is where Carrum Health steps in, offering innovative, value-based solutions that make surgical care more affordable, transparent, and reliable.
A Smarter Approach to Surgical Care
Traditional healthcare models often operate on a fee-for-service basis, where hospitals and providers are paid for every test, consultation, and procedure performed. This can unintentionally encourage unnecessary treatments while driving up costs. Carrum Health takes a different approach by building partnerships with Centers of Excellence (COEs) top-rated hospitals and specialists across the country and offering bundled payment models that focus on quality outcomes, not the quantity of services delivered.
This value-based model ensures that patients receive the right care, at the right time, and at the right cost.
Bundled Pricing for Cost Transparency
One of the most impressive aspects of Carrum Health is its bundled pricing structure. When patients use Carrum’s platform, they know the total cost of their surgery upfront. This price includes everything from the initial consultation to the procedure itself, post-operative care, and even follow-up support.
For patients, this means no surprise bills and no financial stress during what is often an already challenging time. For employers, it translates into predictable healthcare spending and potential savings of up to 45% per surgery.
Centers of Excellence: Quality You Can Trust
At the core of Carrum Health’s success is its selective network of Centers of Excellence. These facilities are carefully vetted and ranked among the top 10% of hospitals nationwide based on clinical performance, safety, and patient outcomes.
By connecting patients with these elite providers, Carrum ensures that:
Surgeries are performed by highly experienced specialists.
Recovery times are shorter and complication rates are lower.
Patients receive evidence-based care focused on achieving the best results.
This quality-first approach not only improves outcomes but also reduces the number of unnecessary or repeat surgeries.
Personalized Care Coordination
Navigating a complex healthcare system can be overwhelming, especially when surgery is involved. Carrum Health addresses this pain point by offering personalized care coordination for every patient.
From the moment a patient is referred, a dedicated Care Concierge guides them through the entire journey:
Scheduling appointments
Coordinating with the Center of Excellence
Organizing travel and accommodations if required
Managing post-surgery follow-up care
This hands-on support helps patients feel informed, cared for, and confident every step of the way.
Comprehensive Surgical and Specialty Care
While many people associate Carrum Health with orthopedic surgeries like knee and hip replacements, its services go far beyond that. The platform offers access to a range of specialized procedures, including:
Spine and back surgeries
Bariatric (weight loss) surgeries
Cardiac surgeries
Advanced cancer care
By covering a broad spectrum of surgical needs, Carrum provides a one-stop solution for individuals seeking top-quality care at a fraction of the traditional cost.
Making High-Quality Care Accessible
One of the unique aspects of Carrum Health is its commitment to accessibility. Many patients using Carrum pay little to no out-of-pocket costs, depending on their insurance plan. In cases where travel to a Center of Excellence is required, Carrum often covers the cost of transportation, lodging, and even meals making high-quality care accessible regardless of location.
This comprehensive approach eliminates common barriers and ensures that patients focus on recovery rather than finances.
Proven Results and Real Impact
The results of Carrum Health’s model speak for themselves. Employers who have integrated Carrum into their benefits programs have seen substantial cost savings, while patients consistently report better experiences and outcomes.
For example:
A patient facing a complex spinal procedure was guided seamlessly through the process and experienced a smoother recovery due to the expertise of a COE provider.
Employers report reduced absenteeism, as patients recover faster and more effectively.
These real-world successes highlight how Carrum is redefining what value-based care looks like in practice.
