Sun Life U.S. taps Hinge Health as preferred digital musculoskeletal solution for members
Sun Life U.S. partners with Hinge Health, a digital musculoskeletal (MSK) care company, to offer comprehensive digital MSK care to its members.
With a focus on improving healthcare outcomes while containing costs for clients and members, Sun Life has selected Hinge Health to provide digital intervention to members who are facing musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. According to Sun Life's latest High-Cost Claims and Injectable report, MSK conditions ranked as the fifth highest cost claims between 2020 – 2023.
"Employers, especially those that self-fund their health plans, are rightfully concerned with the upward trend of healthcare costs related to MSK conditions," said Jen Collier, president, Health and Risk Solutions, Sun Life U.S. "Through this new relationship, our members will be able to receive proven MSK treatments and an omnichannel engagement approach to positively impact both first dollar and high-dollar medical spend."
Hinge Health will provide Sun Life U.S. members access to a team of physical therapists, health coaches, and orthopedic surgeons, offering personalized programs and advanced technologies, including the FDA-cleared Enso device for pain relief. Additionally, members will have access to early intervention resources, such as surgery decision support.
The partnership also includes the integration of Hinge Health into Sun Life's new Health 360 app, allowing members to connect directly with Hinge Health and other health capabilities to drive engagement and better outcomes.
