Employer Direct Healthcare, including SurgeryPlus and Cancer Care Direct, is now Lantern.   

Just as a lantern guides the way through the darkness, Lantern steers your organization toward exceptional care for your employees and significant cost savings. 

We’re thrilled to reintroduce ourselves as Lantern and continue lighting the way forward for our members and partners. https://lnkd.in/g8GCiJt5

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. 

Key actionable takeaways:

💲Learn how to reduce costs for your groups
👩‍💻Offer seamless care navigation and data integration for your members
📈Grow your business by collaborating with independent COEs to offer superior care at competitive rates

⚠️Healthcare costs are expected to rise by 7.7% in 2025⚠️

Benefits leaders, how is your company going to address these rising costs?

WTW recently released its 2024 Best Practices in Healthcare Survey, which polled 417 employers representing 6 million workers. They are expecting a 7.7% increase in healthcare costs. https://lnkd.in/gCNQVxri 

MSK and other surgical cases account for 20% of healthcare spend.

Lantern’s Network of Excellence offers a surgical care solution that negotiates rates for surgical procedures that are 50% better than market pricing while providing the best quality of care. This leads to a 3% lower overall medical spend on average and a 99.7% surgery recovery rate.
