Employer Direct Healthcare’s CEO, John Zutter, is encouraged by the partnership between SurgeryPlus® and Hinge Health. “Of course, surgery is always the last resort in any care plan, but for those patients that need it, quality and affordability are critical factors to consider when selecting a surgeon,” Zutter elaborated. “Together we uniquely enhance the MSK patient experience with a high-touch, accessible, and personalized care plan that ensures an outcome-oriented and cost-controlled result.
