OptumRx Diabetes Management Program

OptumRx’s Diabetes Management Program provides eligible participants a free glucose monitoring meter, unlimited glucose strips and one on one counseling. Blood sugar will be monitored regularly via a cloud-based connection, allowing OptumRX to be notified if a participant’s blood sugar is trending abnormally and will result in an outreach call from OptumRX to the participant.

• Eligible Participants. All diabetics identified by OptumRx through analysis of diabetes medication usage. Diabetics identified through Anthem BCBS and self-identified diabetics are also eligible to participate.
• Education (One-on-One Counseling). Each participant is eligible for quarterly calls with a Diabetes Health Educator. These calls will provide a clinical assessment and medical review, diabetes education, review of testing results, lifestyle, exercise and wellness tips, and development of goals and action plans.
• Medication Adherence. Targets all diabetes members when identified to have low medication adherence for several drug classes. Outreach improves medication adherence and includes new-to-therapy education, refill reminders, provider letters notifying of nonadherent members, reminder letters to members exhibiting low adherence.
• Resolving Gaps in Care. Optum will conduct a diabetes focused Retroactive Drug Utilization Review for all participants. Targets all diabetes members when identified to have gaps in medication therapy for cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
