We are proud to share that more than 700,000 state employees and their families can now access orthopedic care through OrthoCarolina at zero out-of-pocket cost. Surgeries that used to come with thousands of dollars in deductibles now have no patient cost through our partnership with Lantern and the North Carolina State Health Plan.
At OrthoCarolina, innovation goes beyond patient care, it drives meaningful change across our communities. This video highlights our ongoing research efforts focused on reducing opioid reliance in orthopedic treatment. Through evidence-based practices, multidisciplinary collaboration, and a commitment to patient safety, our teams are leading initiatives that prioritize effective pain management while minimizing risk. Hear from our physicians, clinical leaders, and research teams as they share how OrthoCarolina is advancing care models that support recovery and improve long-term patient outcomes. By challenging traditional approaches and embracing safer alternatives, we are making a measurable impact in the fight against opioid overuse.
