Summary
EmblemHealth is promoting National Kidney Month in March and recommending annual kidney health evaluations for all diabetes patients. This is educational guidance rather than a billing or coverage policy change.
Action Required
No immediate billing changes required. Providers may consider implementing annual kidney health evaluations (eGFR and uACR tests) for diabetic patients as part of quality improvement initiatives. This could potentially increase lab billing volume for practices treating diabetic patients.
