Simplify Payments With QualChoice

With consolidated billing from QualChoice, you can make one monthly payment for health, dental, and vision insurance. Why make three separate payments each month, when you can make one and be done? This is just one more example of how we’re working to make health insurance simple.

March Is National Kidney Month

The National Kidney Foundation (NKF) estimates that over 37 million adults in the United States have kidney disease, also known as chronic kidney disease (CKD), and approximately 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. are at risk for kidney disease. These risk factors include diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, and family history. The NKF established National Kidney Month to raise awareness about kidney health and CKD.

 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), chronic kidney disease often develops slowly and with few symptoms. As a result, many people aren’t aware they have CKD until it’s advanced and they need dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive.

 

If you have diabetes, it is important to visit your doctor and check your kidneys regularly with simple blood and urine tests. Regular testing is your best chance for identifying CKD early if you do develop it. Early treatment is most effective and can help prevent additional health problems.

 

The QualChoice QCARE program provides extra care for members living with diabetes. Eligible members and dependents can take part at no added cost as part of their QualChoice benefits.* Our registered nurse health coaches provide personal support to help members manage their diabetes. This helps improve their quality of life and reduce related problems, including CKD.
