Vori Health sets new bar of excellence in MSK industry by earning URAC accreditation for credentialing, ensuring its enterprise clients receive great care from the highest quality clinicians.
NEW YORK, October 5, 2023 -- Vori Health, a nationwide specialty musculoskeletal (MSK) medical practice and industry leader in the treatment of spine and orthopedic pain, today announced it has achieved accreditation by URAC as a Credentials Verification Organization (CVO). URAC is the independent leader in promoting health care quality by setting high standards for clinical practice, consumer protections, performance measurement, operations infrastructure, and risk management. By achieving this CVO accreditation, Vori Health demonstrates commitment to quality care, enhanced processes, patient safety, and improved outcomes—ultimately providing its enterprise clients with peace of mind that they are contracting with highly-qualified specialty physicians, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals.
“At Vori Health, we value the role credentialing plays in protecting both patients and payers, alike,” says Vori Health Chief Medical Officer Mary O’ Connor, MD. “Providing the highest quality MSK care is our top priority—it's the reason we founded Vori Health. We welcomed the opportunity to undergo this rigorous process to demonstrate the standards of excellence we uphold and strive to continually surpass.”

As the leading causes of disability worldwide, MSK conditions such as back, knee, and joint pain dramatically impact society. High prevalence rates of inappropriate care (including more than 50 percent unnecessary surgery rates for low back pain) contribute to skyrocketing MSK costs for employers and payers with expenditures exceeding $380 billion annually. Vori Health addresses these problems directly through its virtual-first platform and holistic, doctor-led care team model which connects patients to non-operative physicians, physical therapists, nutritionists, and health coach navigators. By providing patients in pain with convenient access to appropriate care, Vori Health reduces unnecessary surgery, lowers costs, and improves outcomes for all.
For Vori Health’s enterprise clients, this accreditation opens the door to streamlined implementations. As an accredited CVO, Vori Health can shorten the timeline for credentialing, while giving payers the assurance that its staff, training, tools, workflows, and approach have been thoroughly vetted to comply with nationally recognized standards.

“We applaud Vori Health on achieving URAC accreditation. With this distinction, Vori Health demonstrates excellence in quality health care delivery and their commitment to ensuring patient safety,” said URAC President and CEO Shawn Griffin, M.D.
“Better care begins with the highest quality clinicians,” says Vori Health Chief Executive Officer Ryan Grant, MD. “Upholding the most rigorous standards as a CVO is a critical step in ensuring safe and successful care. It brings peace of mind to our partners and demonstrates our commitment to an improved care model that always puts patients first.”
