Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico (BCBSNM) and Home Access Health Corporation have collaborated so that select Blue Cross Community Centennial members ages 18 and above can receive in-home diabetes monitoring test kits. Members with diabetes for whom we have not received a claim evidencing annual completion of the glycated hemoglobin (A1c) test may receive in-home testing kits. The in-home testing kits are a convenient option for members to be tested in the comfort and privacy of their homes at no additional charge to them.
We have let members know they will receive the testing kits and that taking the test is voluntary. Members have until December 30, 2021 to complete and submit their tests for processing. Home Access Health Corporation will process the tests and send results to the member and any primary care provider identified by the member when returning the test.
How You Can Help:
- Discuss with members the importance of A1c and healthy lifestyle choices that promote diabetes wellness; and
- If members receive in-home testing kits and call your office with questions, please encourage them to participate and complete the kits as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact your BCBSNM Representante de la red de prestadores de servicios médicos.
Such services are funded in part with the state of New Mexico.
