FPZ AG Köln (Hrsg). Integrierte Versorgung Rückenschmerz: Wissenschaftliche Dokumentation 2006–2008. 2009.

#### Objective

To investigate if integrated care for back patients (FPZ Concept which includes exercise therapy for spine) leads to economical savings in medical costs compared to standard care. 

#### Methods

Comparative data of standard care and integrated care were made following these two criteria: Data was required from insured persons of a health insurance company who did not take part in integrated care and both retrospective and prospective results had to be available for this data.

Data was retrieved from a large German health insurance company which was a partner of integrated care for back pain from the start.

#### Outcome

Integrated care showed statistically significant savings in the following areas: doctor visits, medication and remedies and aids. In category "incapacity for work", integrated care seemed to be successful if it was started before a time limit of 6 weeks off from work.

Overall the average annual saving were €1,562 per patient.
