PayerTalkCE® Presents: Managing DR/DME for Underserved Populations

This PayerTalkCE podcast, hosted by Dana McCormick and Dr. Jordan Graff, focuses on managing diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic macular edema (DME) in underserved populations. Key challenges include limited access to care, transportation, and socioeconomic barriers. They highlight the importance of early intervention, remote screening technologies, and advancements in anti-VEGF therapies to reduce treatment burden and improve outcomes. Discussions emphasize balancing the cost of newer, more effective treatments with their ability to reduce the frequency of visits and improve patient adherence. Collaboration between payers and providers is critical to enhance access, manage costs, and optimize care for vulnerable populations. This activity is certified for CME/CNE/CPE credit.
