Summary
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network are launching an in-home diabetic program through Sprinter Health for select Medicare Plus Blue and BCN Advantage members starting in April. Eligible diabetic members due for retinal exams will receive invitations for no-cost in-home visits that include multiple screenings, with results shared directly with primary care providers through electronic medical records or fax.
Action Required
Before April 2026: Billing and clinical staff should be aware that select Medicare Advantage diabetic patients may receive in-home visits through Sprinter Health that include retinal exams, A1c testing, urine screening, blood pressure checks, and other services. Expect to receive test results via Direct Trust electronic records or fax. No billing changes required as this is a covered benefit program, but staff should be prepared to discuss results with patients who participate in the program.
