Lowering Surgery Spend

Approximately 15 million Americans have surgery every year,1 and many of those procedures, as high as 50% of them, are medically inappropriate.2 The truth is, when a patient hears the word surgery, many never take the time to consider all of their options, often leading to avoidable medical expenses. Welvie is changing that.
