Hillcrest - Diabetes Management
Diabetes Management Program
Members age 18 to 75 are eligible for the Diabetes Program. Objectives are that members will obtain important exams including blood pressure, foot exam, eye exam with ophthalmologist or optometrist and obtain follow-up care by primary care physician, including monitoring of medication and laboratory tests results (hemoglobin A1c, lipid profile and micro albumin). Other health conditions are considered such as hypertension and kidney complications.
- Members are provided an opportunity to request educational information.
- Members receive reminders regarding recommended exams and tests.
- For condition monitoring, members receive a tool to document and track blood pressure readings for easy reporting to their primary care physician.
- For treatment plan adherence, members' primary care physicians receive alerts when tests results are out of control or tests have not been completed in the last 12 months.
