Icon Health partners with Gold Direct Care to facilitate access to high-quality, low-cost orthopedic care
Icon Health today announced a partnership with Gold Direct Care. The partnership integrates primary care with personalized orthopedic care, directly supporting both members and providers with consultations and connections to high-quality, low-cost specialty care, whether in-person or virtual.
“Creating continuity between primary and specialty care is extremely important in a traditionally siloed healthcare system,” said Nathan Scoggin, co-founder and CEO of Icon Health. “Our comprehensive orthopedic care management and navigation solution is an excellent complement to primary care, allowing easy collaboration with primary care providers and facilitating access to orthopedic experts and care for members suffering from muscle, bone, and joint ailments.”
Icon Health will connect Gold Direct Care’s members to orthopedic experts, high-quality in-network providers, and care coordination support no matter no matter the type and severity of the condition. Icon’s Orthopedic Experts will also offer one-on-one consultations to support Gold Direct Care’s providers and care management efforts.
This partnership blends primary care, clinical expertise, and robust data with an interoperable technology platform to streamline care transitions, bringing members shorter care timelines, less uncertainty, and eased pain.
“As a primary care provider, I’ve seen firsthand the need for Icon Health’s solution,” said Dr. Jeff Gold, the head physician and CEO at Gold Direct Care. “As members pursue specialized orthopedic care, the value of condition-specific clinical expertise, care planning support, and data-driven recommendations cannot be understated. We’re excited to be among the first practices offering access to Icon Health’s innovative services.”
Both Icon Health and Gold Direct Care are motivated to raise the standard for high-quality healthcare. Critical to that mission is establishing more seamless integration between primary care and specialized care.
“Partnerships that connect primary care with specialty care management and navigation are the best way forward,” said Gold.
