The Opportunity

Why Hospitals Are Adding
Cryotherapy Now

Post-operative pain management is under pressure from all sides — opioid reduction mandates, CMS quality metrics, patient satisfaction scores, and length-of-stay targets. Cryoneurolysis addresses all of them simultaneously.

Opioid Reduction Mandates

CMS and state regulators are tightening opioid prescribing. Cryoneurolysis delivers 45% opioid reduction — documented, defensible, and drug-free.

CMS Quality Metrics

HCAHPS pain scores, readmission rates, and complication rates all improve. Better scores mean better reimbursement and competitive positioning.

Length of Stay Pressure

0.8-day shorter average LOS per orthopedic patient. At scale, this frees capacity, reduces cost, and improves throughput across your surgical service line.

New Revenue Stream

The hospital captures facility fee revenue on every cryoneurolysis procedure — a high-margin service with no capital investment and no staffing burden.

Quality Metrics

Move the Metrics That
Drive Reimbursement.

CMS ties a meaningful portion of hospital reimbursement to HCAHPS scores and length-of-stay performance. Cryoneurolysis improves both — simultaneously.

HCAHPS Pain Management

Better Scores. Better Reimbursement.

HCAHPS "Pain Management" domain scores directly affect Hospital Value-Based Purchasing (VBP) reimbursement. Patients who receive iovera° cryotherapy report significantly better pain control — improving your composite HCAHPS score and protecting your VBP adjustment.

Length of Stay

0.8 Days Shorter. At Scale, That's Capacity.

Plessl et al. (JAAOS, 2020) documented a statistically significant reduction in average length of stay from 2.5 days to 0.8 days (p<0.0001) in TKA patients who received cryoneurolysis. At 2,500 patients per year, that's 4,250 freed bed-days annually.

Compliance Structure

Built Like Anesthesia.
Compliant by Design.

Our Management Services Organization (MSO) structure mirrors the models hospitals already use for anesthesia groups, emergency medicine, and hospitalist programs — making compliance review straightforward for your legal and administrative teams.

All compensation is fixed and fair market value-based. There is no revenue sharing, no volume-based incentives, and no self-referral arrangement. We provide full documentation for your compliance team from day one.

Compliance Documentation Provided
  • MSO Agreement with FMV analysis
  • Stark Law exception analysis
  • Anti-Kickback Statute safe harbor memo
  • Medical director agreement template
  • Equipment lease agreement
  • Credentialing documentation
Stark Law Compliant

Fixed FMV compensation only. No self-referral arrangements. No percentage-based or volume-based payments of any kind.

Anti-Kickback Safe Harbor

All compensation structures qualify under established AKS safe harbors. No remuneration tied to referral volume or value.

MSO Model — Established Precedent

The same structure used by anesthesia groups, ED physician groups, and hospitalist programs nationwide. Your compliance team will recognize it immediately.

Multi-Site Replication

The compliant structure is designed to replicate cleanly across multiple hospital sites within a health system — same documentation, same model.
