Glycemic Status Assessment: Supporting Proactive Diabetes Care 

A1C testing is one of the most effective tools for identifying uncontrolled diabetes early and preventing avoidable complications. As a triple‑weighted quality measure, it also reflects the critical role diabetes management plays in overall patient health and population outcomes. 

Why Timely A1C Testing Matters 

Completing at least one A1C test each year helps: 

• Detect worsening glycemic control early 

• Guide timely treatment adjustments 

• Reduce long‑term risks and prevent avoidable hospitalizations  

• Strengthen performance on quality and risk adjustment measures 

How You Can Make an Immediate Impact 

Between April and June, consider: 

• Reviewing gaps-in-care reports to identify members who are overdue 

• Ordering A1C testing for those without a recent result 

• Following up on abnormal findings to support early intervention 

• Ensuring results are accurately documented and submitted 

Your partnership makes a measurable difference in how well our members manage their diabetes.
