Frequently asked
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Does Lantern cover both IACME and NAME accreditation?
Yes. Lantern includes the full IACME standards and the NAME inspection checklist, and tailors your manual and gap audit to whichever program you choose — with the correct scoring for each.
Is Lantern a substitute for legal review?
No. Everything Lantern produces is a draft for your Chief Medicolegal Officer and legal counsel to review, edit, and adopt. It never claims guaranteed compliance.
Where do the state-statute citations come from?
Lantern looks them up with grounded web search and includes the source link. If it can’t verify a specific citation for your state, it leaves a clearly-marked placeholder for a human rather than inventing one.
Can I audit the policy we already have?
Yes. Upload your existing manual as a PDF, Word document, text file, or even a scan — Lantern reads it (OCR included) and reports which standards are met, partial, or missing, with a recommendation for each gap.
How much does Lantern cost?
Lantern is $1,499 per year for one office, billed annually. Every feature is included — no per-seat fees or add-ons, and you can cancel anytime.
Is there a free version?
No. Lantern is a focused professional tool offered as a single annual subscription.
Is my office’s data private?
Each office’s data is isolated to that office. Your drafts, uploads, and manuals are only visible to your account.
Can multiple offices or a county use one license?
A license covers one office. For multiple offices or a county-wide rollout, get in touch after signing up and we’ll quote it.
