The company is once again beginning a new year with new service offerings based on growing demand for data-driven insights in a rapidly shifting healthcare landscape. The most recent updates include expanded geographic coverage for all-payer claims data, additional service line definitions, and enhanced sub-service line details. 

“Healthcare leaders are increasingly recognizing the importance of arming their teams with actionable data, and we’re excited to see the industry response each time we roll out new data insights and advisory services to support their health systems,” says D.J. Sullivan, Chief Strategy Officer and Managing Director, Claims Data Analytics at HSG Advisors.

The company also makes updates to its data to keep ahead of industry changes. HSG made significant service line edits and revisions based on new codes released from the American Medical Association and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a crucial update for service-based data. Additional service line expansions include: 

• Incremental outpatient service and sub-service line definitions, including new imaging, labs, and outpatient evaluation and management (E/M) sub-service line categories, with additional edits to E/M codes
• Break-outs of specific services, including a spine/back breakout from neurosciences, orthopedic sub-service line definition build outs, and a revamp of cardiovascular sub-services 
• Surgical and rehabilitation service line code updates and sub-service line groupings including surgical fracture care and chiropractic, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and acupuncture rehab services

Service line edits are dated back to 2019 so clients can understand historic performance vs. the current state, including impacts related to the pandemic.

Mommy Makeover Medical "Compression Garment Therapy™" Recovery System

RICHMOND, Calif., December 15, 2023 (Newswire.com) - A big leap forward in post-surgical comfort and healing has arrived on the scene: the world’s first post-surgical compression garment with a zipper in the back. This innovation is the latest to join Design Veronique’s System of styles designed to help women heal after abdominal surgery or a Mommy Makeover. 

The Back Zipper Advantage

Until now, compression garments either had front or side closures, which could be irritating to sensitive surgical wounds. After studying the problem, and experimenting with numerous designs, Design Veronique found that moving the zipper to the back produced a far more comfortable fit. The medical garment, developed by Veronica C. Smith, CEO and Design Director, was introduced at the Plastic Surgery The Meeting, on October 27 in Austin TX. It’s a break-through in Medical Compression Garment Therapy™ welcomed by medical professionals and patients alike. 

A System of Medical Compression Garments that cover the three important C’s – Compression, Comfort and Compliance™

The Mommy Makeover medical garments are the newest addition to Design Veronique’s system of Medical Compression Garment Therapy™. Each item is targeted to a phase of the healing process. Immediately after surgery, during the critical phase 1 the patient will wear a Medical binder. Design Veronique’s new binder allows for drains to be strategically attached for optimal drainage. Contouring Phase 2 is a medical garment with 360˚ compression to support all surgical areas. The transitional phase 3 medical garment provides extra support and comfort during the final skin retracting and body contouring transitioning phase.

“Until now, typical compression garments used zippers or other closures in front or on the sides. These would irritate sensitive surgical wounds; leave marks on the skin and/or would bunch up in front or on the sides. Our new design features a plush padded back zipper that won’t dig into the skin, and makes sleeping on the back more comfortable,” says Veronica. “It’s an important addition to our Medical Compression Garment Therapy™ system.” 

Designed by Women for Women

Like all Design Veronique products, the new back zip medical garments (Style # DV-2,DV-2b, DV-3, DV-3b: Patent Pending) are designed by women who are sensitive to the needs of those undergoing cosmetic or reconstructive surgery. The growing trend in this type of surgery is the “Mommy Makeover,” a treatment that helps restore a woman’s pre-childbirth body.

The number of women electing to get Mommy Makeover procedures is on the rise, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Women had nearly 161,948 tummy tucks in 2022, an increase of 37% over 2019. Breast lifts and breast augmentations are also increasing. 

Often, a Mommy Makeover involves more than one type of surgery — breast, abdominal, gluteal – making post-surgical comfort the highest priority. 

A recent test customer wore the new garment after having a tummy tuck and, had this to say:

“This garment made all the difference during my recovery. Nothing compares. I was able to get back to my daily activities because this garment made me feel like it was holding me together. I wore this garment with the bra for a year and it was very comfortable. I love it and, it’s sexy!”
