If you’re a spine surgeon, you may have heard that it’s not easy to get into Marvel group’s Surgical Stewardship™ program. But you may not know why that is. In this post, we’ll explain why the program is selective and why you should be glad the honor is extended to so few. 

Elite for a reason

Because so few are included in the Surgical Stewardship™ program, it shines a light on those who are invited to join. If it were easy to get in, there wouldn’t be much to distinguish one surgeon from another, because there would be so many in the group. The fact that membership is so limited makes all those who are members seem more elevated, and someone who is an expert in their field.

To put it into perspective, membership into the program is a bit like membership into Major League Baseball’s Hall of Fame – hundreds and hundreds of players reach the major league level, but very few perform at a level that rates inclusion into the Hall of Fame. To receive that honor, a player must consistently perform at an elite level and must do it consistently.

Stay ahead of the competition 

Another reason membership in the Surgical Stewardship™ program is so exclusive is because it can give member spine surgeons access to all the benefits of the program, including the Patient Promise™ outcomes warranty.

The Patient Promise™ outcomes warranty reimburses patients for out-of-pocket expenses up to $5,000 should follow-up surgery be required within 365 days of the original procedure. As you can imagine, for Marvel Group to be able to offer this to spine surgeons, they must have demonstrated consistently positive patient outcomes.

In addition, membership in the Surgical Stewardship™ program also grants access to other program elements. The Patient-Reported Outcomes Data Ownership Platform, gathers and analyzes university-class data you can use to improve your processes and communicate more effectively with your patients. And the Patient Ignition Platform provides turnkey patient attraction resources that target new and existing referral sources and patients. Finally, the Additional Reimbursement Platform allows you to be paid more for your successful outcomes because Marvel Group provides you with the data necessary to secure additional reimbursement from third-party payers. 

Since you’ll have access to all these practice-building components of the Surgical Stewardship™ program – and your competitors will not – it should help you shine in comparison with all the other spine surgeons in your community. This is one of the best reasons you should be glad that inclusion in the program is so difficult, and that you are one of the elite surgeons who made the cut.
