In this insightful episode, Dr. Jeff Dunn (Cooperative Benefits Group) and Janelle Grubbs (Kroger Prescription Plans) engage in a compelling discussion on the utilization management of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) under the pharmacy benefit. They delve into how Kroger Prescription Plans has pioneered open access to CGM, eliminating prior authorizations and streamlining access for both type 1 and type 2 diabetes patients. The dialogue covers the rationale behind this strategic move, the impact on patient and provider satisfaction, and the broader implications for healthcare coverage and wellness programming. This episode is essential for health plan professionals looking to understand the evolving landscape of diabetes management and the benefits of enhanced access to CGM.
