Thoughtful Care is dying,
it’s worth saving for our future

Thoughtful Care is a pledge of “a clinical practice that makes patients better, not worse off.”

Thoughtful Care costs less since it’s well-planned to reduce expensive and harmful complications, but unfortunately, it lacks organization, so there are zero sponsors for it.

Of the total healthcare spend, doctors’ direct cost is only 7%, and the other 93% is based on their ordering and prescribing behaviors.

Partnering with the right doctors will make a real difference in quality and cost.

We will recruit and manage a dedicated team of Thoughtful Clinicians for you who will serve your best interests and provide higher-quality care at a lower cost for your population.

Modus saved our member from repeated surgery. Our members were going to doctors who said all the right things, but we did not have confidence that we would get a fair price and a good outcome.

– Benefits Manager for 2000 Employees

Initially our adjusters and RN Case Managers did not like the Modus ratings for 75 doctors in our Worker’s Comp network, but Modus Ratings was SPOT ON when we compared it to claims cost and return to work rate.

– Claims VP for National WC Insurer

Our clinical navigators used our relationships and knowledge with our local Orthopedics surgeons, but we struggled when our patients required out-of-state care, Modus did our homework to find out-of-state MSK doctors.

The Problem

  • Healthcare providers are battling for society’s trust and patients’ hearts and minds. Thoughtful Care is a pledge of “a clinical practice that makes patients better, not worse off.”

  • Thoughtful Care costs less since it’s well-planned to reduce expensive and harmful complications. Unfortunately, it lacks organization, so there are zero sponsors for it. Several industries sponsor doctors who practice costly, thoughtless care, resulting in unnecessary surgery, hardware, and drugs.

  • Value in healthcare remains a fleeting illusion; complacency enabled the system to increase costs while simultaneously discounting clinicians’ fees. Clinicians are burdened by hundreds of onerous quality metrics that are systematically manipulated.

  • Thoughtful clinicians are pushed to work harder for less, and Thoughtless clinicians are often rewarded for upcoding to falsely enhance quality metrics and increase discounted service volume.
  • Doctors cost 7% of the system and prescribe the other 93%. Society needs thoughtful clinicians who serve patients’ best interests.
