Disease Management Program for Diabetes

The Disease Management Program for Diabetes is designed to identify members with Type 1, Type 2 and gestational diabetes.

The program will focus on providing support tools to reduce health care service use and costs associated with avoidable complications, such as emergency room visits and hospitalizations. The components of the program include: condition monitoring and reporting, patient adherence, consideration of other health conditions and lifestyle issues, stratified intervention strategies, and access to Diabetes Self-Management Training (DSMT). To ensure and improve program efficacy, outcomes are measured and assessed through a collaboration of program staff and partners.
