Curb Diabetes Complications and Costs

Diabetes can lead to serious complications, and one of the costliest — and least discussed — is diabetic foot amputations. Even more surprising is the mortality rate for individuals who have experienced an amputation which is higher than that of many cancers. While the reality is discouraging, the leading cause of many amputations, foot ulcers, is preventable. Join us for an informative session to learn more about this serious issue facing your members with complex diabetes and how you can better manage it.

Key takeaways:

• Learn about diabetic foot complications and the impact they have on overall health

• Understand how to identify members at risk of foot complications and how to target them for a virtual care program

• Discover how individuals with previous foot complications including amputations can be highly motivated and engaged with monitoring solutions

• Hear how one Medicaid plan partnered with Podimetrics to lower costs and improve outcomes for their most complex members

Diabetic amputations represent a significant indicator of health inequity. Implementing an impactful program can help reach your most vulnerable members, not only supporting their foot health but also addressing their social determinants of health.
