ORLANDO, FL - Orlando Orthopaedic Center introduces OrthoNavigator, a free 24/7 virtual orthopaedic care service that launched this week. This new platform aims to support small businesses and uninsured individuals in Central Florida by providing cost-effective access to orthopaedic care.
OrthoNavigator, developed in partnership with Hatch, a healthcare technology company, offers immediate, expert orthopaedic guidance at no charge to users, addressing the high costs associated with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, which represent one-sixth of all healthcare spending in the United States.
Kevin Joyce, CEO of Orlando Orthopaedic Center, stated, "We recognize the challenges faced by small businesses and uninsured individuals in accessing affordable orthopaedic care. OrthoNavigator is our response to this need, offering free access to Certified Athletic Trainers who can provide guidance and potentially help avoid costly emergency room visits or unnecessary appointments."
Key features beneficial to small businesses and uninsured individuals include:
- Free 24/7 availability
- Real-time chat and video guidance at no cost
- Reduction in unnecessary ER visits and doctor's appointments
- Decreased time away from work for employees
- Transparent, cash-based pricing for uninsured or underinsured individuals
In addition to the free virtual service, Orlando Orthopaedic Center has published cash-based pricing for uninsured or underinsured individuals. This transparent pricing model aims to keep costs down compared to typically more expensive hospital-based services.
"By offering clear, upfront pricing, we're enabling individuals without insurance to make informed decisions about their care and budget accordingly," Joyce added. "This approach, combined with our free virtual service, can significantly reduce the financial burden of orthopaedic care for many in our community."
OrthoNavigator connects users with Certified Athletic Trainers through real-time chat and video calls, offering professional advice on managing orthopaedic injuries and conditions. It also provides information about walk-in clinics and self-scheduling options.
