Finally—a Model Where Surgeons Lead
There’s a fundamental misalignment in surgical care today: surgeons are held accountable for clinical outcomes, yet often marginalized in the very models structured around their performance.
NueRisk Partners™ was built to change that.
NueRisk Partners is a network of top-performing surgeons, united under a state-based, surgeon-owned entity. Through full-risk episodic agreements with major payors, the entity assumes 100% financial risk (upside and downside) for the total cost of surgical episodes.
Our purpose is simple: shift financial accountability from payors and employers to surgeons who have the greatest influence on site of service, quality outcomes, and costs.
Revenue Per Case Opportunity
Traditional models reimburse you a fixed amount, regardless of the value you create. With NueRisk Partners, your earnings align with your performance. You take ownership in the financial risk for orthopedic procedures you already excel at and share in the rewards of delivering high‑quality, cost‑efficient care.
Backed by a proven infrastructure and safeguards to support you, risk becomes a pathway—not a burden—to increased earnings and greater control.
