Amica Mutual Insurance Company Wins Benefits Award for Improving Health of Employees with Diabetes

Diabetes is a costly condition with claims costs for members with diabetes averaging more them four times the costs for non-diabetic members. The natural course for diabetes, if left unmanaged, is towards further escalating costs. The Abacus program can prevent this cost escalation and actually achieves cost reductions. This chart displays the changes in Per Member Per Month (PMPM) medical claims costs for health plan members who participated in the diabetes program and met all program requirements and those that did not participate.
