Chronic diseases, such as diabetes, are not only a health concern but also a significant financial burden for patients and employers. With the costs of medications and treatments continually rising, finding effective ways to manage these expenses is crucial. MakoRx’s Integrated Health Management (IHM) programs offer a promising financial solution to chronic disease management.
The Financial Strain of Chronic Conditions
Treating chronic conditions like diabetes often involves expensive medications and supplies, impacting both individual patients and employers. The cost of care, especially for branded drugs or insulins, can be overwhelming. This financial strain calls for a more sustainable approach to managing chronic disease costs.
MakoRx’s Integrated Health Management Solution
MakoRx has developed IHM programs specifically designed to control the escalating costs associated with chronic conditions. By bundling care and medication into a fixed monthly cost per employee, these programs offer a more predictable and manageable expense model.
