Diabetes Management Program
The Diabetes Management program focuses on helping patients better understand and control this
harmful disease. There is a series of up to six visits with a designated provider, which the patient selects,
over 12 months. The visits take from 30-60 minutes to complete. Each visit involves an overview of
medications along with an educational theme for each visit. The provider will review the patient’s health
history, diabetes goals, recent lab results, and all of their current medications. The provider will then
educate the patient on their health conditions, make recommendations to improve their medication therapy, and
refer them to other health care providers such as diet or eye specialists if needed. All information will be
shared with the patient’s doctor to make sure that everything is done to meet their medication and health
goals. The patient’s health will be improved by utilizing the specialties of a variety of health care
professionals.
There are multiple benefits to this program. Most importantly, patient’s overall health will be
improved. Secondly, health plans can
reduce expenses due to having healthier member, less sick days, and less long-term disease complications. We
can also customize this program to meet your specific needs.

Onsite health screenings are a valuable tool to identify those at risk for chronic health conditions such as
diabetes, osteoporosis, and heart disease. Tests require no more than
a prick of the finger and results are received in a matter of minutes.

and wellness issues specific to the health of the patient, intervention and communication with other healthcare
professions, development of an action plan with patient established goals, a personal medication record, and
follow-up. Our certified pharmacy providers utilize evidence-based
guidelines to optimize the health of the patient. Our MTM/DSM program
participants will be seen a approximately four times over the course of a year.
