Contracted insurance vendors manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, coronary artery disease (including circulatory restrictions and strokes), musculoskeletal disorders (including lower back pain), and digestive disorders. These are the top five chronic diseases prevalent in our population. Your medical plan carrier may reach out to you, offering support if you are coping with any of these chronic diseases.
