NHRMC Employee Diabetes Health Plan

Diabetes is a major health problem facing Americans today. Anyone can get diabetes and it can often lead to serious health complications. Knowing if you have pre-diabetes or diabetes, and being aware of the risk factors is a step in the right direction.

NHRMC introduces the Diabetes Health Plan. It is designed for employees and their family members who have a diagnosis of prediabetes or diabetes, and are enrolled in one of NHRMC's medical plans, to help manage their conditions while saving money.

If you or any of your covered dependents were enrolled in the NHRMC or Standard Health Plan and have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes or diabetes, you will be automatically placed in the value-based Diabetes Health Plan based on your claims history.

If you or any of your covered dependents are electing medical plan coverage for the first time, have a diagnosis of pre-diabetes or diabetes and would like to participate in the value-based Diabetes Health Plan, you will need to elect the NHRMC Health Plan and complete an application with UHC to be moved to the Diabetes sub-plan. Contact any member of the HR Benefits Team at 343-7049 or HR.benefits@nhrmc.org for forms and help.
