Lantern

Lantern (legal entity Employer Direct Healthcare, LLC dba Lantern Specialty Care) is a US specialty care platform that connects members with high-quality, lower-cost care for surgery, cancer and infusion therapy — the complex, high-cost episodes that account for roughly half of healthcare spending. Founded in 2011 as SurgeryPlus and later expanded into cancer and infusion care, Lantern sells to employers, public-sector employers, labor union trusts, health plans and benefits consultants, pairing a hand-selected "Network of Excellence" of specialists with dedicated care teams that navigate a member end to end through a treatment journey. Lantern is backed by Insight Partners. As of this enrichment pass Lantern publishes no public developer program, API documentation, machine-readable specification, SDKs or discovery surface — this profile captures its public company, trust and security posture only.

Lantern is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Healthcare, Health Benefits, Specialty Care, and Surgery.
