Disposable Fingerstick A1C
An A1cNOW+ is a single-use, disposable, and reimbursable point-of-care fingerstick blood test that measures diabetes (Prediabetes, Diabetes, and Gestational) in 5-minutes from an average blood glucose level over the past 3-months.
Retest Every 90-Days
The relationship of individual comorbid chronic conditions to diabetes has reflected that obesity is related to a lack of A1c and BP control and of seventeen (17) conditions related to achieving control goals, sixteen (16) were related to achieving A1c control. It is vital to regularly check the A1c for comorbid chronic conditions that are seen and unseen.
2023 HEDIS Measures
NEW in 2023 is the HEDIS Measures for Comprehensive Diabetes Care (CDC) added the HbA1c test to determine the Control <8% and Poor Control >9% indicator. Comprehensive Diabetes Care/Hemoglobin A1c Control for Patients With Diabetes, Eye Exam Performed for Patients With Diabetes, Blood Pressure for Patients With Diabetes. NCQA separated the indications into three (3 ) standalone measures:
HbA1c Control for Patients with Diabetes: Control <8 and Poor Control >9

Blood Pressure Control for patients with Diabetes
Providers may use the A1c alone at the point of care in a clinic to make a diagnosis and determine how well patients are managing their diabetes.
