Teladoc Health makes A1C testing easier for members with diabetes 09:09 TDOC Teladoc Health announced the addition of a home A1C testing program to its Livongo by Teladoc Health chronic care solution, making it easier for members to manage and control their diabetes. Livongo by Teladoc Health members will have the option to receive at-home A1C tests provided by LetsGetChecked. The announcement comes as new company data shows that 58% of members opt for the at-home service when given the chance, with a three to four times greater consumer test return rate than other options on the market. Coupled with the Livongo by Teladoc Health diabetes management program and whole-person integrated programs to address hypertension, weight, mental health and other frequent comorbidities, 87% of members using the in-home test reported a controlled A1C of 8% or less. "Meeting people where they are is paramount for enabling better clinical outcomes," said Vidya Raman-Tangella, chief medical officer at Teladoc Health. "Social and environmental factors account for 50-60% of health, and we are addressing persistent challenges by offering in-home testing. The data gathered by giving more people necessary tools will help us to create actionable insights that fuel a more individualized approach to health care."
