Centers of Excellence
Centers of Excellence (COEs) are hospitals that have been designated by employers or health plans as facilities that provide high quality, cost-effective care.
Even relatively common surgeries can sometimes result in complications. By guiding your employees to facilities that have been recognized for excellence in surgical care, you can improve quality and lower costs for both your organization and your employees.
