Abstract

Preventive health services Diabetics Disease management
One of the most prevalent and costly chronic conditions in the U.S. is Type 2 diabetes. Further, both the costs and prevalence of this disease are increasing. Many patients are not even aware they have this disease until complications occur. This study hypothesized preventive screening services (A1C testing, lipids testing, albumin testing, eye exams) in the base year would improve cost, utilization and health outcomes for patients with Type 2 diabetes in the follow-up period of two years.
