Healthcare costs continue to rise—and your clients are searching for savings
The Business Group on Health says COEs are the #1 delivery approach to reform healthcare. Recommending an independent COE can be a competitive advantage for your clients. Why?
Employer healthcare costs continue to rise, so they need solutions to help boost engagement while controlling costs.
The average American with insurance struggles to afford care.2 Employers can waive cost-share through independent COEs.
Independent COEs can help steer members toward the highest quality providers in a way that health plans can’t.
Get to Know Lantern, the leading Network of Excellence for Surgery
Lantern focuses on excellent care as close to home as possible for all plannable surgeries. We personally match members with the best surgeon for their needs, so they can get the care they need—at the right place and time.
We’re ready to work with you, as a new layer on top of your existing network.
The Lantern Difference
We build our network at the individual surgeon level to deliver the best possible outcomes for members.
Lantern’s network surgeons can find a better path to healing for 20-30% of members experiencing musculoskeletal pain. And, when they can’t, Lantern members have a complication rate of less than 1% after surgery, compared with the national average of 8-15%. These results are possible because we individually vet providers for the quality of care and support they provide.1
By contracting directly with top surgeons across the country, Lantern negotiates rates that are 55% less than carriers on average.1
Our lower rates on high-cost procedures like bariatric, joint replacement and cardiac surgery translate to savings you can pass on to groups, offering you a competitive edge.
When you partner with Lantern, you’ll have insight into the care your members receive. We’ll also make warm referrals to your care management programs, helping create a more supportive member experience at each step.

Working Together for Better Outcomes
“Employers are interested in independent COEs because they've come the closest to solving the value equation when it comes to quality, delivery, experience and cost. And they see independent COEs as significantly differentiated from COEs offered by health plans for that reason.”
“Having a solution like Lantern removes barriers and helps our associates access affordable, high-quality care.”
“We obviously evaluate cost savings in any situation, but it’s not necessarily the priority here. The priority is providing the best care for our employees.”
