Purpose: The purpose of this feasibility study was to determine the effectiveness of an insurer-based diabetes educator (DE)-driven intervention that relies on systematic restructuring of primary care (PC) linking DE services through population health, practice redesign, and coordinated care for patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) identified as high risk.

Methods: Two DEs were introduced as members of PC teams and worked with practice-based care managers (PBCMs) to identify and refer DM patients considered at high risk, A1C >9%, DM-related emergency room visit or hospitalization, or reported barriers to care. Elements shown to ensure quality, including population management, diabetes self-management education and support (DSMES), and coordinated patient-centered team-based PC, were central to intervention.
