About Employer Direct Healthcare
Employer Direct healthcare (EDH) is on a mission to transform access to excellent care for the moments that matter most. As the leading provider of surgical benefits for self-insured employers, we bring guided access to high-quality, affordable care for employers, their employees and the family members. We understand and have experienced the challenges of navigating specialized healthcare and we are dedicated to making a change.
EDH is the market leader for Independent Centers of Excellence (CoE). We have challenged the status quo in healthcare by bringing top quality surgeons within reach of all. Our surgeon-first model is the largest and most accessible network (3-4x larger than our peers), which has delivered an ROI 3x our peers. We serve hundreds of self-funded plan sponsors across 1000+ employers, representing over 4 million people across the U.S. We've saved our clients over $700 million since we were founded!
