  1. The Diabetes Cycle of Care Presenter: Dr Greg Wyatt

  2. Minimum requirements for Cycle of care • Clinical: • Measure weight: twice a year (height and BMI first time) • Measure blood pressure: twice a year • Examine feet: twice a year • Provide self-care education and review medicines • Check SNAP (smoking, nutrition, alcohol & physical activity) • Pathology: • Measure HbA1c: yearly • Measure Chol, HDL and TG: yearly • Test for microalbuminuria/ACR: yearly • Check kidney health with eGFR: yearly • Referral: • Comprehensive eye exam: every two years Bp Sunshine Summit 2014

  3. Item numbers • Fees: • Same as equivalent visit (23/36/44 or 24/37/45) • SIP of $40 per patient per year for each completed cycle (if PIP) • PIP of $20 per diabetic SWPE if > 50% diabetic patients have completed cycle of care [whole practice] (if PIP) Bp Sunshine Summit 2014

  4. Claiming Cycle of Care • Cycle of care claimed once per year, certifies to Medicare that ALL elements of cycle have been performed • Doesn’t matter who performed each element – GP, endocrinologist, optometrist/ophthalmologist, podiatrist • If audited, you would need to show evidence that all elements are completed, so need good communication • Medicare used to be very strict on 12 months – one day short and would be rejected. Now can be claimed after 11 months • Easiest way to keep track is to use EPC Diabetes tool in Bp • HL7 pathology populates automatically (almost all labs now) Bp Sunshine Summit 2014

  6. Start of cycle • Cycle of care starts as soon as previous cycle is complete (or at diagnosis of new diabetic) • Educate patient on concept of cycle of care • Maintenance of good control • Prevention of diabetic complications • Early detection of complications • Usually 2-4 visits per year, just for diabetes • Consider handout for patient • Send reminders to patient Bp Sunshine Summit 2014

  7. Reminders • Reminders are the key to keeping everything on track • GPs are too busy to remember • Patients never remember • When I complete a cycle of care (or at new diagnosis) • Add reminder “Diabetes – 6 month check” (6 months time) • Add reminder “Diabetes – Annual check” (12 months time) • Add reminder “Diabetes – HbA1c” in 3 months time if necessary • Reminders don’t automatically update • When reminders are printed, I enclose appropriate pathology request • If eye check is due, I write a note on letter Bp Sunshine Summit 2014
