Summary
EmblemHealth is promoting National Kidney Month and recommending annual kidney health evaluations for all diabetic patients, including eGFR and uACR testing. This is educational guidance rather than a billing policy change.
Action Required
No immediate billing changes required. Providers should consider incorporating annual kidney health screenings (eGFR and uACR tests) into care plans for diabetic patients and ensure appropriate documentation for these preventive services.
