A better option for safe, convenient infusion therapy
Lantern can connect your employees with the care they need at home or at a local infusion center.
Your Challenges
More than 3.2 million Americans receive infusion care. Additional infusion therapy treatments are approved every year, so that number will only continue to grow.
The U.S. spends more than $110 billion annually on infusion care. Infusions make up about 10% of employer healthcare spending.
When patients get infusion therapy in a hospital, costs are often marked up 300% above what the same treatment would cost in a different setting.
Employers pay $75,000 on average for each employee receiving infusion care for autoimmune conditions or cancer in a hospital setting
The Lantern Infusion Care Difference
Lantern negotiates lower rates for infusions either in the home or at ambulatory infusion centers and guides members to the most appropriate site of care for them while connecting them with personalized guidance and support for their treatment journey.
Through Lantern, employers can save upwards of 40% on infusion care for each member who can be treated outside of a hospital setting.
The Lantern Advantage
Hospital nurses often have six or more infusion patients at a time. Many patients can get safe, effective and appropriate treatment with 1:1 support at home or at an ambulatory infusion center in their community.
Lantern members have access to personalized support from a clinical care team that can educate and guide them during the infusion journey. Members can call and talk to their team about medications, side effects, help understanding how their benefits work and more.
Receiving infusions in the home or in a high-quality ambulatory infusion center leads to outcomes as good or better than the hospital for many patients. When determining site of care, we consider specific medications, comorbidities and social determinants of health.
Lantern guides members to the best site of care.
The member journey starts with a phone call. Lantern members who need infusion therapy can call and talk with a nurse or their Care Advocate. They Lantern team can also:
- Answer questions about their benefits
- Help them schedule appointments for infusions
"The way Lantern worked was how you would want insurance to work. For the first time since I’ve had insurance, something worked the way you would want it to. It was so easy and so turnkey."
