Premier Spine Care in Overland Park, Kan., has become the first dedicated ASC for spine care to join San Francisco-based Carrum Health's Centers of Excellence network.
The practice has two spine surgeons: John Ciccarelli, MD, and Adrian Jackson, MD.
"Our collaboration not only enables us to offer our members access to their outstanding care, but their outpatient offering promotes easier access and an excellent patient experience," Kristen Barlow, vice president of provider partnerships for Carrum Health, said in a Feb. 11 news release.
Founded in 2014, Carrum Health developed a digital platform that connects employers and employees with Centers of Excellence for surgical procedures.
The company's bundled payment program aims to lower employer healthcare costs for orthopedic procedures, improve clinical outcomes and expand access to care.
Last month, Carrum Health expanded into Nevada through a partnership with Crovetti Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, a four-physician group in Henderson.
