2000 Humana Inc. The new agreement covers Humana's Medicare HMO and commercial HMO patients and their physicians in the Corpus Christi market. The program will directly address the needs of Humana's members with diabetes, in an effort to improve their overall health and quality of life.
Most patients have access to quality doctors and a wealth of information.
Yet, all too often, their diabetes is out of control and they end up with a poor quality of life. In conjunction with the member's physician, these care plans address all co-morbidities of diabetes blood sugar control, renal conditions, cardiovascular conditions, eye care, foot care, clinical depression and overall weight control, exercise and nutrition. This silent killer is especially prevalent in the Hispanic community which comprises more than 50 percent of the local population. We looked at a number of different companies to help us coordinate services for members with diabetes. They're very member focused, data and Web savvy, and understand disease management for the chronically ill in the broader context of true population health.
