Walmart has recently introduced a first-of-its-kind “Centers of Excellence” program that will offer its associates quality health care with no out-of-pocket costs for heart, spine, and transplant surgeries at six of the leading hospital and health systems in the U.S. Walmart’s associates and their dependents who are enrolled in the company’s medical plans will receive consultations and care covered at 100 percent without deductible or coinsurance, plus travel, lodging and food for the patient and a caregiver.

The ERIC FocusOn call will be led by Lisa Woods, the Senior Director Health Care Benefits at Walmart, who will describe the program, discuss its origins and evolution, and tell how they addressed the roadblocks they met along the way.
