BICMD Guides the Patient Through Best Next Steps
Reduce Unnecessary Surgeries and Improve Outcomes
Reduce Unnecessary Surgeries and Improve Outcomes
Musculoskeletal surgical claims are a significant driver of healthcare expenses, yet studies show as many as 30 percent of surgeries are over-indicated. BICMD’s independent physicians help confirm when surgery is appropriate and when less invasive, evidence-based options may better support patient recovery and resource management.

A real case demonstrating how evidence-based medical review can change both outcomes and perspectives.
