[Self-Management_OR] Time sensitive: Support for continuous glucose monitoring

[Moore Lizzie E]

Hello OSMN,

The Health Evidence Review Commission (HERC) is looking at potentially expand coverage for CGM (continuous glucose monitoring) for people with diabetes on OHP. They have a survey they want to share with people on OHP who might want to use CGM to understand better how using CGM might affect their quality of life.

The audience of this survey is: Oregon Health Plan (OHP)/Medicaid members or a caregiver/parent of an OHP member who uses insulin to manage their Type 2 diabetes. The survey is in Spanish and English, below.

The timeline is tight, especially for reaching patients and caregivers. We believe this is because of a HERC process deadline and that it cannot be pushed out. If it is possible for you to ask any patients or caregivers to complete this, it could provide support for expanded CGM coverage.

Thanks so much,

Lizzie

The Oregon Heath Authority's (OHA) Heath Evidence Review Commission<https://www.oregon.gov/oha/HPA/DSI-HERC/Pages/index.aspx> (HERC) wants your help. The Commission needs input from our partners about Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM), a wearable device that checks blood sugar levels. Currently, the Oregon Health Plan (OHP)/Medicaid covers this monitor for people who have Type 1 diabetes. HERC is considering making the monitor available to people who use insulin to manage their Type 2 diabetes. HERC asks you to take a 5-minute survey<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HERC-CGM> that will help the Commission as it considers this decision. The survey may also be used to improve how OHA manages access to monitors.

This survey is open to Oregon Health Plan (OHP)/Medicaid member or a caregiver/parent of an OHP member who uses insulin to manage their Type 2 diabetes. Thank you for considering helping us with this important topic.  The survey<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HERC-CGM> closes at 8 am on May 30, 2023.

¿Ud. es miembro de Plan de Salud de Oregon (Oregon Health Plan) que tiene diabetes tipo 2? ¿Es un cuidador/padre/madre de un miembro con diabetes tipo 2? La Comisión de Revisión de Evidencia de Salud<https://www.oregon.gov/oha/HPA/DSI-HERC/Pages/index.aspx> (Health Evidence Review Commission, HERC) del Oregon Heath Authority (OHA) quiere su ayuda. La Comisión necesita información de los miembros del Plan de Salud de Oregon (Oregon Health Plan, OHP)/Medicaid sobre los medidores continuos de glucosa (MCG), un dispositivo portátil que mide los niveles de azúcar en sangre. Actualmente, el OHP cubre este monitor para las personas que tienen diabetes tipo 1. La HERC está considerando poner el monitor a disposición de las personas que usan insulina para tratar la diabetes tipo 2. La HERC le pide que complete esta encuesta<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CGM-Spanish> de 5 minutos que ayudará a la Comisión a considerar esta decisión. Es posible que la encuesta también se use para mejorar la forma en que el OHA administra el acceso a los monitores.

Gracias por considerar ayudarnos con este importante proyecto. La encuesta<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CGM-Spanish> termina el 30 de mayo de 2023 a las 8:00 a. m.
