Preliminary data for a diabetes management program with a Medicaid MCO shows that 64% of patients that engaged at least twice with CPESN North Carolina pharmacists maintained or improved their A1c values. Madeline Clark, one of the network facilitators, says participating pharmacists are excited about the opportunity to reach even more patients with an increased budget under the contract renewal.

Increased pharmacy engagement with a Medicaid MCO population is the goal for CPESN® North Carolina pharmacies participating in a renewed diabetes management program. Clinical services being provided under the contract med sync and other efforts to increase adherence, as well as regular monitoring of glucose levels. Laura Rhodes, Managing Network Facilitator, hopes the deeper patient engagement and refreshed data will lead to another renewal for 2025.

Under renewal of this contract with a Medicare Advantage Plan, 58 CPESN Mississippi pharmacies provide diabetes monitoring and management including A1c testing to establish a base level, counseling to help patients with an A1c >9, bring it under 9%, and make referrals for annual retinal eye exams.

More than half of CPESN Virginia's pharmacies had patients eligible for diabetes managment care under a contract with a large national managed health plan. Services include HbA1c monitoring and a focus on nutrition, motivational interviewing, med management, and care coordination.
