CVS Health launches Transform Diabetes Care program

CVS Health has launched Transform Diabetes Care, its new program set up to assist pharmacy benefits management clients in the improvement of member health outcomes, to decrease costs with aggressive trend management, and to cut medical costs by refining medication adherence.
"The Transform Diabetes Care program focuses on three key components to help improve outcomes and reduce overall health care spend in diabetes: medication adherence, A1C control and lifestyle management," CVS Health Chief Medical Officer Dr. Troyen Brennan said. "What's unique about this program is that at CVS Health we are able to marshal resources across our enterprise and provide a high level of personalized support and care via multiple touch points. What makes our face-to-face counseling and education at our more than 9,600 pharmacy locations and more than 1,100 MinuteClinic locations so effective is that it happens when patients are already thinking about their health."
The Transform Diabetes Care program will be available for use early next year. It will feature personalized support for members who have diabetes while integrating clinical care and cost management solutions. It's estimated that clients who use the program could save approximately $3,000 to $5,000 each year.
