As a health plan leader, you want to lead the way in delivering savings for your groups. 

But more self-insured employers are turning to independent COEs to access better costs and outcomes. And the employer’s health plan isn’t always integrated into the experience.

Our next webinar will discuss the benefits of partnering with a carrier COE alternative like Lantern. Our panel of experts Dickon Waterfield, Tim Kelly, Casey Jennings will join Brian Marcotte to discuss how we can create a partnership utilizing our Surgery Care Network of Excellence.
