Capital Blue Cross

 

128 million Americans have diabetes or prediabetes.

Let's do the math.

  • $327 billion a year in diagnosed diabetes healthcare costs.1
  • $20 billion due to missed work days.2
  • Capital Blue Cross employers spend three times more on someone diagnosed with diabetes than those who are not.3

 

It's time for better numbers.

Capital Blue Cross is taking diabetes head on with a new holistic, data-driven strategy to control costs and prevent long-term health challenges associated with diabetes and prediabetes. 

We’re working with digital healthcare providers Omada and Virta to introduce three programs that can help reduce healthcare costs and improve quality of life — and all members have to do is start.

Both apps connect with devices and fitness trackers, offer a large supportive online community, and provide supplies needed for members to reach their goals, such as glucose meters and testing strips — at no cost to members.

Each program comes with their own extra perks. For example:

  • Omada will also send members a digital scale that pairs with the app.
  • Virta,* the only type 2 diabetes reversal program in the country, will put members in touch with medical doctors and help track ketones.

Get your employees started today on a long healthy life with fewer medical costs.

 

OMADA FOR PREVENTION

Program can help members lose weight and reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

 

OMADA FOR MANAGEMENT

A tailored experience based on a member's care plan and unique health goals.
