The Problem

A healthcare system without accountability

Interventional spine procedures are among the most commonly performed and reimbursed procedures in healthcare. Yet there is no standardized system to verify they are performed accurately and to the standards of care set forth by professional societies. The consequences are felt by patients, payers, and the entire healthcare system.

With an aging population, the number of these procedures is estimated to continue increasing year over year, making the need for accountability and standardized validation more urgent than ever.

No Accountability for Procedural Quality
Today, once a physician's office or practice obtains prior authorization for a specific procedure, they are practically guaranteed payment. There is virtually no mechanism to verify whether the specific approved interventional spine procedure(s) were performed accurately and in accordance with the standards of care established by professional societies. Providers operate without objective oversight.
Patients Receiving Substandard Care
When procedures are not performed to current specialty standards, patients suffer. Inaccurate needle placement, improper technique, and deviations from established protocols can lead to poor outcomes, unnecessary pain, and repeat procedures.
Healthcare Dollars Wasted on Improper Procedures
The healthcare system currently reimburses providers for procedures regardless of whether they were performed correctly. We estimate that hundreds of millions of dollars can be saved. These savings can occur through the direct denial of payment for inappropriately performed procedures—including their associated facility fees—and by disincentivizing repeated inaccurate procedures.
Skyrocketing Healthcare Costs with No End in Sight
Without a system to hold providers accountable for procedural accuracy, there is no incentive to maintain the highest standards of care. This lack of accountability contributes directly to the unsustainable rise in healthcare spending.

Seeing the difference

These fluoroscopic images illustrate why procedural accuracy matters. When contrast spreads outside the target, medication never reaches the intended nerve—yet the procedure is still billed and reimbursed the same as one performed correctly.

Performed Incorrectly

Bilateral L3 Transforaminal Epidural Injection

Contrast (black) is seen outside the neuroforamen, likely leading to medication injected into the surrounding muscles rather than the target.

Contrast is seen outlining the exiting nerves and flowing underneath the pedicle and into the epidural space—exactly as intended.

How It Works

Technology-driven accountability for interventional spine care

CAVMAC Health uses advanced technology to objectively evaluate whether interventional spine procedures meet the standards of care. Our platform empowers payers and healthcare systems to make informed reimbursement decisions while ensuring patients receive the quality of care they deserve.

Step 01

Procedure Image Analysis

Fluoroscopic images from interventional spine procedures are securely uploaded to the CAVMAC platform, where they are prepared for rigorous analysis against established specialty standards.

Step 02

AI-Powered Standards Comparison

Our technology evaluates each procedure against the current standards of care set forth by respective professional societies, identifying whether the procedure was performed accurately and appropriately.

Step 03

Accuracy Validation & Reporting

Detailed validation reports document whether the procedure meets the required standards. These reports support informed reimbursement decisions, ensuring healthcare dollars are only spent on appropriately performed procedures.

Step 04

Accountability & Cost Reduction

By holding providers and facilities accountable for the quality of their procedures, CAVMAC Health helps reduce unnecessary healthcare spending while driving the entire system toward better patient outcomes.

About CAVMAC Health

Ensuring the best care through accountability

CAVMAC Health—Clinical Accuracy & Verification for Medical & Ambulatory Care—was founded on a simple but powerful belief: if an interventional spine procedure is not performed accurately and to the current standards of care, the healthcare system should not be responsible for reimbursing the provider or facility.

We leverage technology to evaluate fluoroscopically guided spine procedures against the standards established by professional societies. Our mission is to hold healthcare professionals accountable, reduce skyrocketing healthcare costs, and above all, ensure every patient receives the quality of care they deserve.

Patient-First Philosophy

Every patient deserves procedures performed to the highest standards of care. We exist to ensure that interventional spine procedures meet the benchmarks set by professional societies, protecting the patients who need them most.

Accountability at Every Level

We believe healthcare providers and facilities should be held accountable for how procedures are performed. If a procedure does not meet current standards of care, the system should not bear the cost of reimbursement.

Reducing Healthcare Costs

By identifying inappropriately performed procedures and supporting smarter reimbursement decisions, CAVMAC Health helps reduce the dollars wasted each year on substandard interventional spine care.

Standards-Driven Approach

Our platform is built around the current standards of care set forth by respective professional societies. We do not define the standards—we ensure they are upheld.
