Better glucose control available through Hygieia insulin management

Providers who have patients with uncontrolled or advanced Type 2 diabetes can refer them to Hygieia for insulin management. Hygieia’s d‑Nav^® insulin management program helps people get the right dose of insulin each time they inject, which helps to lower A1c levels. This is a specialized program just for insulin management and serves as part of the patient’s overall care team.

Hygieia’s d-Nav program helps practices meet HEDIS goals for A1c frequency and control. Studies have shown that 90 percent of patients using the d-Nav program experience significant improvement in blood glucose levels within 90 days of starting the program.

The d-Nav program automates insulin dose prescribing using an FDA‑cleared mobile app. The program includes clinical care support either virtually, or in a Hygieia clinic. The app works by tracking and analyzing each patient’s blood glucose patterns and, based on those patterns, automatically determining how much insulin is needed at the time of injection.

The d-Nav program solely focuses on insulin management and integrates into practices’ team-based care. When providers refer patients, Hygieia will:

• Provide patients with handheld devices that translate glucose readings into personalized, recommended insulin doses before each injection.
• Teach patients how to use the devices.
• Monitor and follow up with patients to offer encouragement, correct usage errors and triage as needed.
• Give providers access to a secure portal where they can review detailed data on each patient referred. Data includes insulin doses, times administered, glucose levels, progress notes and any adjustments to the insulin plan.
• Contact the referring physician when their patients reach milestones.

After a successful pilot program, Blue Cross has extended coverage of the d-Nav program to all lines of business. Now, Hygieia is a specialty provider with Blue Cross commercial, Medicare Plus Blue^SM, BCN commercial and BCN Advantage^SM.

To refer a patient, fax patient information to 734‑249‑9650 or call 734‑369‑9984. Hygieia will contact your patient to schedule an appointment. For more information about Hygieia and the d-Nav program, go to Hygieia.com*.
