Learn how lifestyle change programs benefit your organization.
In 2022, the total estimated cost of diagnosed diabetes was $412.9 billion from direct medical expenses and reduced productivity. The average medical expenditures among people with diagnosed diabetes were 2.6 times higher than what would be expected without diabetes.
We invite you to an exclusive session by the American Diabetes Association’s (ADA’s) Diabetes Prevention Alliance (DPA) to discover how your organization can drive better member and employee outcomes and lower costs by covering lifestyle change programs.
Specifically tailored for health insurance plans and employers, this session will focus on the transformative opportunity to cover the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) lifestyle change program as a benefit for your members and employees.
