If your healthcare provider has recently diagnosed you with diabetes, you’ll be referred to our Diabetes Education program for one-on-one classes. Or if you’ve had diabetes for a while, and need a refresher, or want to learn what has changed, you can call the Diabetes Education Office at 320-864-7761.
Insurance Coverage
In some cases, insurance covers diabetes education. In some cases, it doesn’t. In either case, investing in your health is worth it. Be sure to call your insurance provider to learn what’s covered under your plan.
If you don’t have insurance or are concerned about paying for diabetes education sessions, call our Business Office at 320-864-7780 between 8 am and 4:30 pm, Monday – Friday. We can help you set up a payment plan or tell you about other options.
