NUMC's disease management programs prepare members to actively participate in the management of their disease. Diabetes affects approximately 16 million people. The business costs associated with lost time and productivity raise the level of concern in the eyes of employers. Educating patients regarding their role in managing their disease and therefore reducing the complications associated with diabetes is the focus of NUMC's diabetes disease management program. Management of the disease keeps employees healthy and working, resulting in fewer days lost to illness and reduced productivity.
Many states now mandate coverage of diabetic supplies.
It pays to make sure that your employees are using them correctly and obtaining maximum results.
