Falls are the leading cause of injury and accidental death among adults over 65 in the U.S. This public health concern has never been sufficiently addressed by traditional methods, as shown by the rising prevalence and cost of falls over the last 20 years. For MA plans, falls cost an average of $3,144 PMPM. The prevalence and cost of falls are higher than most chronic conditions. The annual per-member cost for falls ($37,734) is almost the same as that of congestive heart failure ($37,382).

In our most recent webinar, Dr. Bob Mirsky, Nymbl’s Chief Medical Officer and former Aetna Medicare CMO, and Rex Wallace, a leading Medicare Advantage consultant, share their expertise on the epidemic of falls - a growing concern for Medicare Advantage plans.

You will learn why we need to reconsider our current approaches to falls and why reducing the cost of falls requires the use of methods similar to those used for chronic conditions.
