CMS approved Livongo Health, a digital health startup aimed at supporting people with chronic conditions, as an enrolled provider for Medicare Advantage members.
Eligible Medicare Advantage members with Portland, Ore.-based Cambia Health Solutions regional health plans will also be able to enroll in Livongo's diabetes program beginning in June. Livongo first partnered with Cambia Health Solutions last April.
For its diabetes program, Livongo offers services such as cloud-based glucose monitoring for patients and the ability to set custom alerts that notify friends and family when the patient experiences an out-of-range blood glucose reading.
"Completing [the CMS approval] process is a significant differentiator for Livongo and represents our commitment to delivering the highest quality services to the Medicare Advantage population," Livongo CEO Zane Burke said in a news release emailed to Becker's Hospital Review. "This is another example of the value of Livongo's partnership with Cambia as we continue to work together to expand our solutions in a way that is most beneficial to our members."
