Cancer, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular treatments are the top conditions driving up healthcare spend for employers and their employees. Despite the rise in treatment costs, patient outcomes have not significantly improved.

They have been proven to halve procedure costs, prevent surprise bills, improve outcomes, and provide a concierge patient experience. It's no wonder why over 50% of large employers say they are looking to add a COE solution to their benefits package within the next year, but not all COE solutions are created equal.


In this eBook, you'll learn:

  • 7 key things to look for when choosing a COE
  • Why fee-for-service care causes overtreatment
