Managing your sickest patients is often a difficult and expensive task. Wouldn't it be nice to start that management before they start running a high tab? Non-compliance is very common among patients who suffer from a chronic disease, but TeleVox's disease management outreach allows you to educate members about the steps necessary to maintain or improve their current level of health.
Does your health plan struggle to absorb the high costs of the most expensive disease states? Reducing costs for at least 10% of members can improve your Medical Cost Ratio.

Diabetes
Today, one in four Americans currently battles or is at risk of developing type-2 diabetes. That's 25% of the country. 75 million people. And the financial and economic impact of this rapidly-growing health crisis has been devastating. According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), 1 out of every 10 healthcare dollars is now being spent on diabetes and its resulting complications. Americans living with diabetes spend nearly $11,000 more on healthcare expenditures each year than those who do not suffer from this condition.
TeleVox helps organizations minimize costs and diabetics manage their condition by offering systematic outreach for:
- HbA1c Testing and Control
- LDL Screening and Control
- Microalbuminuria
- Creatinine
- Retinal Eye Exams
- Foot Exams
- Hypertension Screening and Control
- Statin Prescribed
Hypertension
A recent Purdue University study found that direct expenditures for an American with high blood pressure exceed $1,100 each year, covering prescription medicines, inpatient and outpatient visits and more. Keeping in constant touch with these members can keep these costs down and decrease their risk of developing more severe diseases. Controlling hypertension is often just a matter of education. Members may not realize the importance of taking multiple medications as prescribed.
TeleVox's hypertension outreach covers important topics such as:
- Blood Pressure Checks
- Weight Loss
- Nutritional Changes
- Medication Compliance
Congestive Heart Failure (CHF)
CHF accounts for approximately 5 million cases annually with 500,000 new cases diagnosed each year. CHF has an especially significant impact on health plan's costs since this disease is the most common "first-listed" diagnosis among hospitalized patients, and it accounts for over 875,000 hospitalizations annually. Proper CHF management measures can help keep members out of the hospital and properly treated.
TeleVox's CHF management outreach includes communications about:
- LVF Assessments
- ACE Prescribed
