Approximately 1 in 10 Americans have diabetes. Out of those, approximately 95% are suffering from type 2 diabetes. 1 in 7 health care dollars in the US is spent treating diabetes and its complications, which comes out to $327 billion per year! However, a lot of this spending is related to managing the condition instead of treating it. Missed appointments, delays in management, and medication non-adherence can increase emergency department visits and hospitalizations. VRI’s programs can help individuals and health plans bridge those gaps to support better health and outcomes. With engagement, education, and empowerment, we help members to not only save money, but more importantly, save lives.
