Diabetes and hypertension solutions now available for large (101+) fully insured and self-funded groups

October 22, 2024

Each year, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) designates November as American Diabetes Month—a time to rally against the diabetes epidemic through research, education and advocacy. An estimated 37 million Americans—one out of every nine—have diabetes, with type 2 diabetes representing 90% to 95% of all cases. According to the ADA, the total economic cost of diabetes in 2022 was $412.9 billion, including $306.6 billion in direct medical costs and $106.3 billion in indirect costs. Further, the report found that people with diabetes account for one of every four dollars spent on health care in the U.S.

There’s a nearly unlimited supply of resources available to help inform people about managing diabetes. But for many, information and self-directed resources aren’t enough to make a meaningful impact. That’s why we offer large (101+) fully insured and ASO groups three virtual-first care programs from industry leader Omada Health that integrate health coaches and clinicians. Omada’s three clinical programs help address some of your employer groups’ costliest health concerns:

• Omada for Prevention treats prediabetes and other cardiometabolic risk factors
• Omada for Diabetes treats type 1 and type 2 diabetes and hypertension
• Omada for Hypertension treats hypertension

Omada care programs engage with patients between doctor visits—with behavioral health support, education, remote monitoring, benefits referrals and medication adherence—to help employees and covered dependents age 18+ become better at managing chronic conditions and stay on track toward reaching their health goals. Behavioral health support is integrated with each program to help employees manage stress, anxiety and depression, which often accompany chronic physical health problems.

Peer-reviewed clinical outcomes demonstrate each program’s effectiveness through high employee satisfaction and increased appreciation for an employer’s health plan, high sustained employee engagement and program adherence, and strong results in each program’s key performance measures.

Each Omada program is easy to implement when combined with your groups’ Asuris medical plans. Setup can be completed in 60 days, eligibility is automated and billing is integrated. In addition, integration with our clinical data enables Omada to target employees with known cardiometabolic risk, and then report aggregate and clinical outcomes regularly.
