World-Class Heart Care for Employees
Our Cardiac Center of Excellence (COE) program offers employees and their covered dependents access to Cleveland Clinic's world-renowned heart care. As a participant in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) public reporting initiative, Cleveland Clinic is proud to achieve a three-star rating (highest) in seven categories.
Our world-renowned Cardiac Center of Excellence program assists those in need of non-emergent heart surgeries. By utilizing a predictive algorithm, clinicians can identify patients who are at risk, while a medical record review allows experts to review a diagnosis to ensure surgery is necessary.
When employers implement a carve-out benefit, it allows 100% coverage for the employee as well as their covered dependents. Employees and their dependents receive a appropriateness of care review to ensure surgery is necessary. If surgery is deemed necessary, our team can work to support travel arrangements, provide a dedicated patient navigator, and implement exceptional service for every program participant. By helping take care of the details, patients can focus on what is most important — their health and recovery.
