Hidden Costs

Hidden Costs

There are additional and hidden costs too. Which include; loss of productivity, paying for temporary cover, missed deadlines, and reduced customer service levels.

Presenteeism

Employees at work in pain can be just as big a problem as absenteeism. It can often be hard to identify and quantify the cost of presenteeism.

Our benchmark data show that 74% of referrals are for employees who are at work with an average productivity of 64%. Our organisational health check can highlight this hidden cost to organisations.

Reduce chronic conditions

Conditions over 3 months old are often refered to as 'chronic'. These conditions can often result in further costs.

35% of our referrals are patients that have a chronic injury and have been ‘putting up with it’ for months or even years.

By providing early access to our physiotherapy service we can help reduce and prevent chronic conditions.

Early access to physiotherapy saves money

Physio Med provide triage within 4 hours and then either initial assessment within a maximum of 3 days or a face to face appointment within a maximum of 5 days.

The NHS currently have an average waiting time of 14.3 weeks for physiotherapy. An injury can become chronic within 12 weeks, meaning conditions can become chronic before they are even assessed via the NHS pathway.
