Lower costs.
Better outcomes. Healthier members.
Prehabilitation is one of the few interventions that benefits everyone: insured members recover faster, physicians gain greater transparency and more resilient patients, hospitals reduce the burden on their staff – and payers can cut their expenditure. PrehabM makes this approach straightforward to implement at scale.
One intervention – four winners.
Specifically, prehabilitation offers the following advantages for patients, doctors, clinics and health insurance providers:
✓ Significantly reduced hospitalisation costs through shorter stays
✓ Fewer costly complications and avoidable follow-up procedures
✓ Fewer intensive care days – one of the largest single cost drivers in acute care
✓ A clear differentiator as a forward-thinking, patient-centred insurer
✓ Improved health literacy among members – fewer benefit claims over the long term
✓ Earlier return to work – reduced sick pay expenditure
✓ Lasting preventive impact – fewer secondary conditions and readmissions
Prehabilitation:
The lever for a more efficient healthcare system
Prehabilitation protects patients, reduces pressure on clinical staff, improves operational efficiency, and cuts costs for insurers.
The intelligent bridge between diagnosis and treatment:
As a critical link in the care pathway, prehabilitation systematically prepares the body for the demands ahead. This approach is already well established internationally across specialties including oncology, orthopaedics, and visceral and cardiovascular surgery – and is a proven contributor to the success of subsequent rehabilitation.
Prevention that makes economic sense: The economic case is straightforward: every complication prevented is a cost that is never incurred. Well-prepared patients develop wound healing problems, infections, post-operative delirium, or cardiovascular events at significantly lower rates.
The result: expensive follow-up treatments and medications are avoided, hospital stays are considerably shortened, and an already stretched clinical workforce gains much-needed relief.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
