Integrated Insurance Navigation for Veterans

Description

Nearly 30% of veterans with diabetes are using both the VA and Medicare Part D to provide their diabetes medications. Veterans and their caregivers have previously reported frustration navigating the two systems and coordinating care between them. Such challenges can lead to veterans having an inappropriate medication supply, poor medication adherence, and poor glycemic control.

A team of students will work with Duke faculty in the Department of Population Health Sciences and Duke’s School of Medicine, Durham Veterans Affairs and the Office of Information Technology to develop a drug cost transparency tool.
