Integrated Care Diabetes: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how patients with Type 2 diabetes can access dietetic care without paying their mandatory deductible through this care program.
This scheme provides specialized support and dietetic care for people living with Type 2 diabetes through a coordinated care model.
Who it's for
This program is designed for patients diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes who are receiving their medical management through primary care providers.
What you get
You can access dietetic care (nutrition counseling) as part of your treatment. A key benefit is that this specific care is provided outside of your mandatory deductible, meaning it should not impact your standard out-of-pocket healthcare costs.
What it costs you
To access these benefits, you must be enrolled in a specific, designated care program rather than receiving standard, uncoordinated treatments.
The catch to know
Eligibility is not automatic for everyone with diabetes. Whether you qualify for this specific "ketenzorg" (care chain) arrangement depends on your specific health insurance provider.
How to apply
- Speak with your primary care doctor about your diabetes management.
- Ask if you are eligible for the integrated care program under your current insurance.
- Confirm with your insurer which specific providers offer this coverage.
