Premera's Disease Management program is dedicated to improving the quality of life for members who have chronic conditions, including diabetes, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and asthma.
The program helps members take a central role in managing their care and fosters responsibility for their own health. Our focus is on identifying conditions as early as possible to slow or prevent their progression.
Eligibility
Premera members eligible for these programs are identified through claims analysis, doctor referral or self-referral. This program is completely voluntary and complies with all federal and state regulations, including the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

- Helping members learn how to effectively manage their condition through educational materials and self-management tools and strategies
