The 18 health systems Walmart sends its employees to for care in 2024

In an effort to rein in healthcare costs for its 1.6 million employees, Walmart sends them directly to health systems that demonstrate high-quality care outcomes, otherwise known as Centers of Excellence.

Through the program, Walmart will cover the travel and treatment costs for employees seeking a range of services, but only for providers with which the company is contracted. Walmart then reimburses with bundled payments negotiated with the providers.

Below are the 18 health systems or providers to which Walmart will refer patients for defined episodes of care in 2024.
