NOVO Health

Chapter I

The Beginning

Motivated by its physician-owners to offer patients a clearly better experience than they were used to, the group reached out to employers with a bold plan: to provide priority access to top orthopedic providers who could deliver quality outcomes at competitive prices.

Ch. 2

The Delivery

And deliver they did, with sets of aggregated medical services, or bundles, that provided fixed prices and single bills for transparent, high-quality care.

Ch.3

The Experiment

The experiment and subsequent success of the orthopedic program inspired the collaboration of other independent specialists to expand the scope of services to meet the needs of employers.

Ch.4

Will it Work?

If it worked for orthopedics, why not spine, cardiac services, imaging, primary care, or any other specialty?

Ch.5

The Birth of NOVO Health

Providers desiring a better way to serve their patients wanted in, and so NOVO Health was born. It would be the strategic connector for employers, providers and patients. And through word of mouth, what began as a local solution for area employers began to grow.

CONNECT

Ch. 6

Word of Mouth

Employers partnering with NOVO Health shared their success stories with other employers – the savings realized, outcomes achieved, employees satisfied. Employees spoke to family, friends and co-workers of their health care experiences, and how they were finally done right.

Ch. 7

Groundswells

Independent providers maintained their autonomy and practiced medicine in the manner that first brought them the profession. The groundswell could not be stopped; it was organic, real, based on being beneficial for all.

Ch. 8
