Traditional Centers
of Excellence aren’t delivering
Your clients want to help their employees get excellent care, streamline benefits and save on rising healthcare costs. But standard approaches to these challenges, including traditional Centers of Excellence (COE), haven’t had the impact employers need.
People don’t want to travel for care, so traditional COE utilization is low
Traditional COEs don’t support whole-person care and only offer limited procedures
Traditional COEs haven’t adapted to clinical shifts in the site of care, which improves both access and outcomes
A better specialty care solution for your clients
An evolution from traditional COEs, Lantern is the Specialty Care Platform connecting employees with the best care close to home while significantly reducing costs.
Lantern focuses exclusively on the complex, high-cost procedures, treatments and diagnoses driving up spend for your clients. Together, surgery, cancer and infusion therapy make up nearly 50% of employer healthcare costs.2
