    • Both a quantitative urine albumin test and a urine creatinine test with service dates four days or less apart
    • A uACR test

Best Practices

  • Order a diabetes screening test every year and build care gap “alerts” in your electronic medical record
  • Follow up with patients to discuss and educate on effects of diabetes

  • Discuss with member the Importance of screening for diabetes
  • Educate the member on symptoms of new-onset diabetes
  • Educate the members about the importance of early detection and encourage screening
