The Lantern benefit is a comprehensive surgical program that provides a personalized concierge experience from dedicated Care Advocates and access to excellent health care through a network of credentialed Surgeons of Excellence for planned, non-emergent surgeries. Enrollment in the Lantern benefit is automatic for individuals enrolled in a State of Delaware Aetna or Highmark Delaware non-Medicare health plan.
Their goal, in partnership with the State of Delaware, is to simplify the surgical process from start to finish - from helping schedule appointments to eliminating medical bills related to your care. The credentialed surgeons undergo a rigorous evaluation process to assure that you receive high-quality care from specialists who excel in the area related to your needs. Lantern negotiates a single cost (bundled rate) for the entire surgical procedure, resulting in savings for the State of Delaware.
Using the Lantern benefit for your planned, non-emergent surgeries saves you money by reducing your financial responsibility and removing deductibles, copays, and coinsurance amounts. Some surgeries and procedures may even include a financial incentive and travel benefits, when applicable. Learn more about Lantern by clicking the links below.
