1 Shortcomings in public and private insurance coverage of state-of-the-art diabetes self-management Delesha M. Carpenter, PhD, MSPH Edwin B. Fisher, PhD April 10, 2010

2 Objective To characterize public and private insurance coverage for Diabetes Self-Management: Education Support

3 Diabetes Self-Management Education The ongoing process of facilitating the knowledge, skill, and ability necessary for diabetes self-care. Affects quality of life and clinical indicators 60-70% have not received DSM Education Funnell et al, 2010; Austin, 2006

4 Diabetes Self-Management Support Activities to assist the individual with diabetes to implement and sustain the ongoing behaviors needed to manage their illness. Case management Funnell et al, 2010

5 State Laws In 2009, 46 states had laws requiring private insurance to offer coverage for individuals with diabetes Includes DSM Education Great variability in specificity of laws ms/tabid/14504/default.aspx

6 Example Law Every policy which provides medical coverage that includes coverage for physician services in a physician's office and every policy which provides major medical or similar comprehensive-type coverage shall include coverage for the following coverage for diabetes self-management education to ensure that persons with diabetes are educated as to the proper self-management and treatment of their diabetic condition, including information on proper diets. Such coverage for self-management education and education relating to diet shall be limited to visits medically necessary upon the diagnosis of diabetes, where a physician diagnoses a significant change in the patient's symptoms or conditions which necessitate changes in a patient's self-management, or where reeducation or refresher education is necessary. Such education may be provided by the physician or other licensed health care provider legally authorized to prescribe under title eight of the education law, or their staff, as part of an office visit for diabetes diagnosis or treatment, or by a certified diabetes nurse educator, certified nutritionist, certified dietitian or registered dietitian upon the referral of a physician or other licensed health care provider legally authorized to prescribe under title eight of the education law. Education provided by the certified diabetes nurse educator, certified nutritionist, certified dietitian or registered dietitian may be limited to group settings wherever practicable. Coverage for self-management education and education relating to diet shall also include home visits when medically necessary.

7 Another Example Each insurer that issues or renews any individual policy, plan, or contract of accident or health insurance providing benefits for medical or hospital expenses, shall provide to certificate holders of such insurance, who are residents of this state, coverage for medically appropriate and necessary outpatient self-management training and educational services, pursuant to a written order of a primary care physician or practitioner, including but not limited to medical nutrition therapy for the treatment of diabetes, provided by a certified, registered or licensed health care professional with expertise in diabetes, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy.

8 Methods Determining insurance coverage for DSM Education and DSM Support

9 Qualitative Methods Document review (Medicare) Key informant interviews (Medicaid & private)

10 Sampling Plan for Interviews States 2 most populous 8 random (2 from each region) Insurance companies 2 from each state Insurance plans 2 from each company

11 Interview Questions Domain DSM Education Interview Questions Does you plan provide coverage for diabetes self-management education classes or sessions with health professionals like a CDE or RD a? DSM Support Ongoing personal relationship with health professional Does your plan promote ongoing contact with a RD, CDE, or other nonphysician health professional? On demand access for health questions Does your plan provide diabetes patients with on-demand access for health questions, like a 24/7 nurse hotline? Proactive contact from a health professional Varied channels for diabetes information Referral to community resources Does your plan promote proactive contact from a health professional, like calling or mailing patients? Does your plan provide patients with access to diabetes information in multiple formats, like classes, written materials, and websites, for example? Does your plan refer diabetes patients to community resources, like support groups, safe places to exercise, or healthy cooking classes, for example?
