-PO Administrative Lead
“I learned some tips for how to talk with a patient who may be hesitant to start another injectable. I learned different resources to help Medicare patients who might be struggling with coverage.”
— Clinical Champion and SGLT2 and GLP1 Part 2 Training Participant
“I appreciated the examples of wording on how to get the CGM covered or to continue coverage. I never thought to have a standard statement as a reply or documentation to prevent any issues with coverage”
— Clinical Champion and CGM Part 1 Training Participant
“Thank you for sharing and addressing the concerns voiced during the initial [member] interviews. That was a great part of the meeting.”
— Kickoff Meeting Attendee
“I'd like a copy of the [training] slides to reference during the course of my day.”
— MCT2D Virtual Academy Medications Training Participant and Member
“[The training was] absolutely what I needed to review the mechanism of glp1 and sglt2. The drug reps are where I receive most of my info so they rarely go into any in depth education on contraindications so I really valued that information.”
— MCT2D Virtual Academy Medications Training Participant and Member
“The training was very informative. However, I really feel we do need much more training, especially the physicians for monitoring the CGM, monitoring patient's diets and adjusting medications. I think this will be tough in the beginning. I see the benefit but we need to be prepared to really help patients through this.”
— MCT2D Virtual Academy Participant and Member
“I have not had a lot of patients who are using these [continuous glucose] monitors so this has been very informative.”
— Clinical Champion and MCT2D Virtual Academy Participant
“[We were] very excited to be a part of the MCT2D CQI, as it seamlessly aligned with ongoing efforts of working with patients that have type 2 diabetes.”
— Participating PO
“[It was] nice to hear first hand how patients are being impacted by this type of work.”
— Kickoff Meeting Attendee
“The coordinating center for the initiative has been very organized throughout and they have done a fantastic job of compiling resources available for both clinicians and patients.”
— Participating PO
“I loved the interactive aspect of this presentation. Having the polls allowed me to make a decision without input or advice from others. Once the outcome of the polls were presented and explained, this allowed me to understand if my thought process was on track or not.”
— Clinical Champion and MCT2D Virtual Academy participant
PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS
How to Join
Spring 2022 PO Recruitment session recording
- Fill out the PO Application. This is a very short form that indicates your intention to participate in the program, and primarily gathers contact information for future follow up.
- Participate in a one-on-one call with the MCT2D coordinating center. During this time, we will ask you about your PO and learn where you are with your current approach to type 2 diabetes care, and also have plenty of time to answer any questions that you may have.
- Determine your participating primary care practices. All participating practices for year one of your participation will be due on July 15th so that BCBSM can process their value based reimbursement to begin on 9/1/2022.
- MCT2D will share practice eligibility with POs by May 2nd at the latest.
- Each year you will have an opportunity to add additional practices.
- BCBSM requires that at least 25% of your T2D population is represented by the participating practices. Details about this will be shared with your practice eligibility.
