Override Health

We have been working with Blue Cross Complete of Michigan members for several months now and are pleased to see our services featured under their "Special Programs" page for members. We hope to serve many more members struggling with #chronicpain https://lnkd.in/e4Bn3f3F

Part of tackling #chronicpain is raising awareness of what it means for so many Americans like these new NYT article does and then starting conversations like Elisha Peterson MD MEd FAAP FASA is.

As the holiday season offers a moment for reflection, we are excited to share highlights of Override Health’s progress and our plans for continued impact in transforming chronic pain care. Expanding Access to Care: • We are now operational in 9 states, partnering with 28 payers covering 74 benefit plans, with our list of partnerships continuing to grow.    • Our provider team has grown to over 40 in-house chronic pain experts, including specialists in pain medicine, physical therapy, psychology, and coaching.  Patient Impact: Data from our patient-reported outcomes highlights the meaningful difference Override Health is making: • 96% report satisfaction with their Override care team. • 83% agree their pain is now better managed through Override Health. • 30% of patients who came to us on opioids report reduced opioid use. One patient of ours stated: “Before I found this program, I was lost, and this program has given me focus. Everyone in chronic pain should have a program like this.” Another shared: “The program is excellent and the staff is both caring and competent. I have made immense progress using the tools and techniques I've learned in the program. I have already recommended the program to several people.” Market Momentum: • Comprehensive Chronic Pain Management: Override’s unique interdisciplinary model, combining pain medicine, physical therapy and behavioral health, continues to resonate with payers, providers, and health systems. We recently signed a national contract with a major payer and state/regional contracts with several others.  • Medicaid Pilot in Michigan: Preliminary results demonstrate lower utilization, reduced total cost of care, and improved primary care utilization—a testament to our model’s effectiveness. Strong Execution: • SOC 2 Certification: We are pleased to announce that we have received our SOC 2 certification, underscoring our commitment to operational and data security excellence. • Serving Military Veterans: This year, we launched a veterans disability exam service line, providing evaluations for mental health conditions and Traumatic Brain Injury through partnerships with various organizations. We anticipate serving nearly 2,000 veterans in 2025. We also continue to serve as Community Care Network providers to treat veterans experiencing chronic pain. Future Growth Opportunities: • Growing partnerships with referring provider partners in primary care and other key departments within health systems to expand access to our services. • Partnering with payers to conduct direct outreach to their members suffering from chronic pain. Building a Strong Foundation for 2025: As we prepare for the next phase of growth, we are beginning a capital raise in early 2025, aimed at fueling continued innovation and impact.  We are grateful for the patients, providers, partners, and supporters who share our vision for transforming pain care. Together, we’re making a significant difference in our patients' lives.

In a new podcast episode, cofounder Jennie Shulkin, J.D. describes the problems in #chronicpain care and how Override solves for them.
