Practice · Sports Medicine & Arthroscopy

The return-to-sport engine your arthroscopy suite deserves.

We build athlete-first demand for ACL, meniscus, rotator-cuff and shoulder-stabilisation programmes — measured in scheduled arthroscopies and documented return-to-play timelines.

For Chiefs of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy Program Heads and MDs of orthopaedic super-specialties with dedicated sports units.

CATCHMENT TIER · PRICE RESTATEMENT

ARPU differs materially between Metro, Tier-2 and Tier-3 catchments. Switch tier to restate every procedure band against the payer mix and package ceilings we observe in that market — not a single all-India number.

Viewing Metro / Tier-1 · Representative catchments: Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune.

Methodology. Base bands reflect RDV's engagement dataset across 47 super-specialty hospitals, reconciled against CGHS/ECHS package rates, state-scheme ceilings (Ayushman Bharat PM-JAY, CMCHIS, YSR Aarogyasri) and empanelled TPA grids. Tier multipliers applied: Metro 1.00× · Tier-2 0.72× · Tier-3 0.55×. Actuals swing with payer mix, consultant-fee split and implant/consumable choice — the written Blueprint restates every band against your own HIS billing history before any spend is committed.

Clinical referral pathway

Intent → triage → consult → admission. Instrumented at every gate.

  1. 01 · Intent capture

    Symptom, condition and referrer-based intent capture across catchment.

  2. 02 · Clinical triage

    Specialty-trained nurse/coordinator triage with report upload before consult.

  3. 03 · Consultant handoff

    Calendar-synced booking to the operating consultant with pre-read notes.

  4. 04 · Admission & OT slotting

    CRM ↔ HIS tag: admission source, procedure code, OT date.

Why Chiefs of Sports Med choose RDV

Trust is earned in the operating logic, not the pitch deck.

Fixture-aware intake

Post-tournament and academy-season demand modelled into media pacing — you're ready before injuries happen.

Return-to-play SLA

Every enquiry gets a documented return-to-sport timeline, not a vague promise.

Physio-first ethics

Grade I–II injuries routed to conservative care; only surgical candidates reach the OT queue.

Academy & club partnerships

We build referral MOUs with sports academies — not paid endorsements. Long-cycle, compounding trust.

From an engagement

"The academy partnership programme replaced our media spend within two quarters. Referrals became the flywheel."

Where we compound

The unfair edge — for Sports Med specifically.

  • Fixture-calendar media pacing — unique in the category
  • Academy MOU playbook with 40+ signed institutions
  • Return-to-play registry that doubles as clinical marketing asset

Practice guarantees

What we commit to in writing.

  • Fixed-scope diagnostic — no retainer, no annual lock-in
  • HIS-verified attribution — every claimed admission traceable to source
  • No media markup — you see raw platform invoices at cost
  • Founder-led — the partner who scopes the engagement does the work

Objections we hear

The three questions MDs ask before signing.

We keep our answers on the record. If yours isn't here, ask it in the qualification form — the founding partner replies personally within 48 hours.

Sports injuries are episodic — hard to plan pipeline.

Not with fixture-calendar modelling and academy MOUs. Demand becomes cyclical and forecastable within two seasons.

We can't pay for celebrity athlete endorsements.

Neither should you. Team physicians and academy MOUs outperform celebrity endorsements 4:1 on referral quality — and stay NMC-safe.

Our rehab team is external.

Then we build a co-managed rehab pathway with your partner. Attribution flows to your OT regardless.

FAQ

The questions Chiefs of Sports Med ask us first.

If yours isn't here, put it in the qualification form — our founding partner will answer it in the 48-hour review.

Do you work with academies and clubs?+

Yes — signed MOUs with academies, clubs and corporate teams are our primary referral asset. Media is secondary.

How do you handle youth-athlete consent?+

Guardian-consent workflow with age-appropriate education content, reviewed by empanelled paediatric orthopaedic counsel.

Can you build return-to-play registries?+

Yes — a documented registry is both a clinical governance tool and a marketing asset. We instrument it as part of the diagnostic phase.
