While millions of Americans are affected by musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, these chronic issues often don't receive the attention they deserve – even as they contribute to rising health care costs and lost productivity.

For benefits brokers and advisors, MSK presents numerous challenges. This, in turn, demands an innovative, data-driven approach that can reduce costs, elevate care and improve workforce productivity.

In this special podcast, “Rewriting the playbook on MSK: innovation that benefits everyone,” that is sponsored by AposHealth, BenefitsPRO Contributor Michael Krieger talks MSK with two leading experts in the field:

  • Gus Georgiadis - the former Area Chairman of the Gallagher Benefit Services operations in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and upstate New York. He is also the  founder and President of Triad USA, Inc., and Executive Vice President for Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield.

  • Scott Thompson – who is an Area President in Chicago with the Research and Insights service line, which is part of Gallagher's Human Resources and Compensation Consulting practice.

During the podcast, Krieger, Georgiadis and Thompson discuss:

  • The major shift in how employers and benefits advisors view MSK, and what’s driving that change

  • How MSK affects absenteeism and productivity, and what benefits brokers can do to better address these challenges

  • The role of wearables and other devices in MSK care, and which technologies are actually moving the needle
