DETROIT and GREEN BAY, Wis., Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bellin Health (Green Bay, WI), an integrated non-profit healthcare system and a national leader in value-based health care, has partnered with Protera Health, a value-based virtual MSK integrated clinic formed out of a partnership with Henry Ford Health Innovations (Detroit, MI), to deliver cutting-edge virtual MSK care to its self-insured health system employees.  This partnership brings Protera Health’s integrated practice unit (IPU) solution directly into the health system’s employee wellness and benefits program.  

“We chose Protera Health over a number of other digital MSK solutions because of the strength of their clinical model.”

“Each year, MSK is among our most frequently encountered employee health conditions.  It was very important for us to find a digital solution that could deliver high-quality care to all of our qualified employees and dependents,” explained Chris Elfner, VP of Accountable Care for Bellin and Gundersen Health System, becoming Emplify Health.

Protera Health’s virtual IPU – based on a decade of clinical transformation and research – is specifically designed to not only improve health outcomes but also to reduce costs of care.  This model centers on physician-led multidisciplinary care, individualized treatment according to patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), and connection to health system services when clinically appropriate.  Alongside telehealth visits with the Protera clinical team, participants engage with an individualized web portal for home exercises, educational videos, and health outcome scores, all of which further improve lifestyle and behavior.

“We chose Protera Health over a number of other digital MSK solutions because of their commitment to being a true partner for our health system and because of the strength of their clinical model.  They also were willing to be creative and solutions-oriented to ensure high quality delivery and outcomes.  Due to the initial success of the rollout, we have already planned numerous health system expansion pathways through which we plan to deploy Protera,” said Dr. Joseph Kucksdorf, Bellin Physical Therapist and Clinician Leader.

The partnership, which launched in April 2024, provides qualified Bellin employees with access to Protera Health services at no cost.  This benefit is an extension of existing no-cost physical therapy access for these employees through Bellin Physical Therapy.  Upon enrollment, employees with MSK conditions undergo virtual treatment by the multidisciplinary, physician-led Protera Health Care Team, with access to personalized education, exercises, and health services through the Protera Health web portal.  Rigorous clinical outcomes – including those of physical, mental, and pain health – are monitored throughout the partnership.     

“Bellin Health is one of the most innovative healthcare systems in the country,” noted Dr. Eric Makhni, orthopedic surgeon and CEO/Co-Founder of Protera Health. “We are excited to be an extension of their already excellent MSK care and best-in-class benefits infrastructure.”
