Livongo Diabetes Self-Management Program
EOCCO has recently partnered with Livongo, a comprehensive diabetes self-management program offered to EOCCO members with type I or type II diabetes. This digital program uses an app, a digital meter, and personal health coaching to help members manage their diabetes through data tracking, diabetes education, and customized feedback and support for each member. Once enrolled, members will receive unlimited strips and lancets delivered to their home.
Providers and care teams can refer a member to the program by visiting https://join.livongo.com/EOCCO/now. EOCCO will reach out to members with type I and type II diabetes beginning in April to share information about the benefit and encourage them to enroll.
Member PCP Assignment FAQ
An FAQ guide for PCP assignmentshas been uploaded to the EOCCO website.This guide includes questions around how an EOCCO member can initially select their PCP, how EOCCO assigns members who have not selected a PCP, and how a member or provider can request a PCP change.
As a reminder, primary care offices can request a PCP change on behalf of a member per the member’s request or if the member is solely receiving care at a clinic other than their assigned PCP.Requests can be made by completing theprimary care provider change form.
Well Child 3-6 Incentive Program
The Well Child Incentive program will continue into the 2022 metric year with a few modifications. This program allows for members 3-6 years old to receive a $50 Amazon gift card upon completion of their yearly well child visit.
Flyers are available in English and Spanish and will be mailed directly to the parents of members turning 3-6 throughout the year (parents can expect to receive the flyer around the time of their child’s birthday). To qualify, visits do not need to occur after the member’s birthday but can occur anytime during the year that a member is turning 3, 4, 5, or 6 years old. For more information, or to request copies of the flyers sent to members, contact EOCCOmetrics@modahealth.com.
