And most of the time, healthcare providers get it right. But without a scientific framework to assess accuracy, errors are difficult to spot and nearly impossible to learn from. Covera Health was founded by practicing physicians and data scientists to find a better way to ensure patients receive the care they need.
12 Million Americans per year are misdiagnosed,
compromising care and wasting spend.

An accurate radiology diagnosis is crucial to the effectiveness of all downstream medical specialties—from orthopedics to oncology. That’s why Covera Health is empowering payers and providers with powerful analytics to better define, measure, and deliver high-quality care.

MusculoskeletalMSK disorders are the leading cause of pain and disability in American workplaces with indirect costs up to 5x the direct cost of treatment. MRI is used in diagnosis and in monitoring the efficacy of treatment. 2
CancerNational expenditures on cancer were estimated at nearly $170B in 2018. Imaging is indispensable to diagnosis, treatment planning (invasive vs non), and treatment monitoring. 3
Neurological DisordersNeurological disorders are the leading cause of disability globally and the second leading cause of death. MRI is used in diagnosis to rule out cancer or aneurysm and to monitor treatment. 4
Heart DiseaseHeart disease is the leading cause of death globally, accounting for 1 in 3 deaths. Imaging is an important part of stress tests and in diagnosing coronary artery syndrome. 5
Metabolic DiseaseMetabolic disorders such as diabetes and thyroid disease occur when the body's usual metabolic processes are disrupted. MRI is often used to rule out rare conditions and monitor patients for complications.
Chronic PainChronic pain accounts for $600B annually in treatment costs and lost productivity. MRI is an essential tool in determining the cause and proper management of chronic pain. 6

Elevating clinical accuracy through rigorous data science
Cloud-based access to >10 years of medical records and millions of related data points
Structuring millions of disparate data to pinpoint frequency, type and source of possible errors
Empowering radiologists with actionable performance reports to elevate patient care
The value of expertise
In a nationwide study over 12 months, a payer, supported by Covera Health, significantly improved outcomes for their patients, at a lower cost, compared with those who were not. 7
