A Health Plan serving rural, urban, and remote communities faced high rates of diabetic foot complications, driven by limited access to podiatry care and delayed detection. To close the gap, the plan implemented the Podimetrics SmartMat and virtual care program for targeted high-risk members.
With consistent remote monitoring, bilingual support, and over 2,000 care calls, the program enabled timely intervention, reducing amputations by over 50%, hospitalizations by 30%, and ER visits by 10%. It also delivered $7,000+ in annual savings per member and a 92% satisfaction rate.
