The cost of necessary diabetes maintenance medications, like insulin, creates a barrier to adherence. The Program promotes adherence to diabetes medications and supplies by removing the copayments for those members who are active in the Program. Members provide very positive feedback about the additional education, guidance, communications and incentives offered through the Program.

Part of the issue for the member is the high costs of medications. The program promotes adherence to the necessary medications and removes the cost barrier for those members who are active in the program. We get very positive feedback from the members and the hospital saves money on reduced medical claims costs.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank you and your team for the Abacus Diabetes Care Rewards program which has provided an incredible amount of diabetes treatment support for many of our patients in our Pediatric and Adult Clinics.  Our staff are thrilled when we see have the opportunity to complete the forms for patients (or their parents) who have access to this incomparable benefit.  I presume you know your impact on these families’ lives, but I just felt it was worth you hearing it from a medical provider.  I serve as the center’s Director of Quality and know my sentiment resonates across our providers.

The Diabetes Program has helped me not only be able to afford my diabetic medicine copays but to improve my overall health. My A1c has reduced, I’ve lost 15 lbs and I am so grateful for this program. Thank you!

The Diabetes Program has helped me save money on my diabetic supplies. By participating in the program I no longer skip taking the expensive medications. I am still working on better sugar control. The program helps alleviate some of my anxiety to reach my goals.”

City employees and family members living with diabetes receive a tremendous benefit through Abacus’ Diabetes Care Rewards Program. The program provides a confidential support service that helps members with diabetes more effectively manage their condition. The results are better health and lower costs for both participants and our municipality.

As a Type 2 diabetic for many years, I know the struggle of managing a chronic progressive disease while trying to maintain my everyday life.
