Reminder: Back Pain Guide program effective July 19, 2021

As previously communicated in the June 2021 edition of Provider News, effective July 19, 2021, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield (Anthem), and AIM Specialty Health_® (AIM), a separate specialty benefits management company, will launch a new Back Pain Guide program for Anthem fully insured members. The new Back Pain Guide program will identify members that are experiencing back pain or are at risk for complications related to back pain conditions and help educate and support members navigate through their back pain journey to reduce risk of chronicity, minimize recurrences, and minimize complications.

 

Our targeting management process includes:

• Predictive models for members likely to be referred for back surgery based on several risk factors
• Risk stratification to ensure the appropriate level of support is provided
• Targeted outreach to members through our digital engagement platform, email and calls
• Customized education and support of provider treatments based on member’s specific needs
• Education about the availability of supportive services such as behavioral health as appropriate
