Why should I refer my patient to the diabetes education program?
- The education program supplements the care you are already providing your patients. Most physicians do not have the time to educate their patients about the importance of self-care management including the aspects of diet, exercise, stress management, medication management, and checking blood sugars.
- The education staff provides American Diabetes Association approved education and will assess and monitor how the patient is doing.
- You will receive reports on the patient’s education process and achievement of behavior modification goals.
Does your program really help patients?
- Absolutely! Our data collection on patients indicates that at least 85 percent of our non-pregnant patients make at least one important health behavior change. In addition, there is a significant reduction in their A1Cs. Most of our pregnant patients do as well or better than woman without diabetes.
How is the program paid for?
- We take most insurance plans. Insurance plans that we take.
- A significant cash discount is available.
- A low-income assistance plan is available.
- Our office staff can assist you or your patient with insurance verification and payment options.
