2023 Walmart Centers of ExcellenceHigh-quality care for complex conditions.

If you’re facing something big like surgery, cancer, or fertility care,
you want the very best treatment.
Walmart’s Centers of Excellence (COE) program gives you access to some of the best specialists and facilities in thecountry, and many conditions are covered at no cost to you with most medical plans. Services include:• Certain heart surgeries, like cardiac bypass and valve replacements• Certain spine surgeries, like spinal fusion, discectomy, and bulging discs*• Hip and knee replacements**• Medical record review—for breast, lung, colorectal, prostate, and blood cancers (like leukemia)—
to see if it makes sense for you to visit a COE facility• Certain weight loss surgeries, like gastric bypass and gastric sleeve surgeries*• Organ and tissue transplants, like bone marrow transplants, as well as CAR-T therapy, ventricularassist devices (VAD), and lung volume reduction (except cornea and intestinal)*• Family-building (fertility) treatment, like IVF and IUI, and testing at Kindbody Signature Clinics****Spine surgeries, weight loss surgeries, and transplants are covered only at designated COE facilities.
Also, coverage for weight loss surgeries under the COE program is at the regular benefit level of 75% after you meet your annual deductible.
**Hip and knee replacements at designated COE facilities are covered at 100%. Coverage at a non-COE facility may be subject to a reduced benefit,
even if the provider/hospital is in your plan's network.
***Fertility services are subject to a $20,000 lifetime maximum benefit for members enrolled in a self-insured medical plan and are covered at theregular benefit level of 75% after you meet your annual deductible.

Most of these conditions are covered at 100% before meeting your deductible. If you’re enrolled in the Saver Plan,
IRS rules require you to meet your annual deductible first. Travel benefits are also provided for certain COE services.
Most of the services in the COE program are available to associates and dependents enrolled in the Premier Plan,
Saver Plan, Contribution Plan, or a Local Plan. If you're enrolled in a Local Plan, you may have different COE providersavailable to you. There are also some restrictions on what’s available, depending on the nature and seriousness of theservices offered. Weight loss surgery is available to associates, spouses/partners, and/or dependents who have beenenrolled in one of these plans for at least 12 months and are at least 18 years of age. Transplant benefits also have a12-month waiting period, which may be waived in certain cases. You can learn more at One.Walmart.com/COE, and see
