Community Health Options’ Members over the age of 18 with Type 1 diabetes can get free virtual care, through a new partnership with Blue Circle Health, which offers services including diabetes counseling, help with nutrition and coordination of care.
Blue Circle will begin offering free Type 1 diabetes support beginning Monday, April 7, while working closely with Community Health Options’ care managers and a Member’s current care team.
“Type 1 diabetes is a lifelong condition with challenges at every stage of life,” said Dr. Lori Tishler, chief medical officer at Community Health Options. “For many adults, managing their disease understandably takes a back seat to the complexities of life—work, family responsibilities and even social activities. We are thrilled to partner with Blue Circle Health to provide extra support at no cost to our adult Members with Type 1 diabetes.”
Working closely with Community Health Options’ Care Management team, Blue Circle began contacting Members with Type 1 diabetes on Monday, April 7.
