Cutting edge technologies and medications are transforming diabetes care, but how do patients with private insurance access these innovative devices and treatments?
Join Georgetown’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms for a webinar exploring how standards of care for people with diabetes are translated into insurance coverage — and where gaps remain. Audience Q&A will follow the discussion.
Speakers:
- Kyle Banks, Founder, Kyler Cares Foundation
- Osagie Ebekozien, Chief Quality Officer, American Diabetes Association
- Heather Foster, Vice President for Marketplace Policy, Association for Community Affiliated Plans
- Amy Killelea, JD, Assistant Research Professor, Center on Health Insurance Reforms
Participants will learn:
- How standards of care and insurance coverage decisions keep pace with rapid innovation in diabetes treatment.
- What guides insurers’ decisions about what diabetes services to cover, and why prior authorization matters.
- What actions federal and state policymakers can take to help people with diabetes access the medications, equipment and supplies they need.
Support for this webinar is provided by The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust through a grant to Georgetown University to advance access to high quality, affordable diabetes care through private health insurance regulation.
