A specialty care solution that works
The Lantern Specialty Care Platform solves your biggest pain points while ensuring employees get expert care for complex conditions.
The traditional Centers of Excellence model doesn’t deliver
Surgery, cancer, and infusion care account for 50%1 of employer healthcare spending, representing critical moments when employees need the most support. Yet, despite 90% of large U.S. companies offering COEs, largely through their health plans, they see little-to-no savings. Employees still face rising costs—or delay care altogether.2
Meet Lantern, the Specialty Care Platform
Lantern is the first Specialty Care Platform. Think of it like an evolution of the traditional COE model. Lantern connects employees with the best care close to home while significantly reducing costs for cancer care, surgery and infusion therapy.

Excellent Care from Start to Finish
Lantern gives members the best possible experience, from their initial call with a Care Advocate to determine their needs to the providers they see in our curated Network of Excellence.
For example: Here’s what happens when a member needs surgery:
- The member calls their Care Advocate, who matches them with a handpicked list of surgeons.
- After the member chooses their surgeon, their Care Advocate can help them schedule appointments, request medical records and more.
- The member sees their Lantern surgeon, who has been individually vetted for the quality of care they provide.
Before, during and after a procedure, Lantern members enjoy a white-glove experience.
Wherever you are in the U.S., Lantern isn’t far away
When your employees need care locally, you can count on Lantern. In fact, 81% of Lantern members drive less than 50 miles for care. If you’re nationwide, so are we.3
And if your employees need to travel for complex care, many Lantern clients offer a travel benefit. We make it easy for your employees to get where they need to go.
