United Health Services of St Joseph County

What it reported doing in 2025

The diabetes resource center of unitd health services works one on one with those in need of help gaining access to healthcare, especially their diabetic medication and supplies. Our goal is to relieve immediate crisis and then assist our clients into long term, stable solutions as we teach, provide services and support individuals living with diabetes and their families so that they can attain a healthy lifestyle. The drc can assist with the immediate need of insulin for qualified people that are 250% at or below poverty guidelines, lives in Indiana, exhausted other options as well as pregnant and children at 350% or below poverty guidelines. With help from physicians & pharmacies across the region, the drc facilitates patient assistance programs & discount card programs for medications. Often this is the only way some individuals gain access to necessary medications. This allows local diabetics to get their medications directly from the pharmaceutical company, bringing in thousands of dollars' worth of medication each year. Each company has its own rules and eligibility standards, and our office works directly with anyone who need a referral or assistance. Our staff is up to date on new glucose meters and testing information. We train individuals who are newly testing or switching devices/models to assure accurate results. Often, we supply start up kits for the newly diagnosed. The drc staff is aware of Indiana and federal laws regarding diabetics and are current on medicare and medicaid supply coverage. Any drc staff member is required to be an insurance navigator so they can mitigate the unnecessary use of community resources when people are eligible for coverage. In 2025 drc provided over 150,000 worth of medication assistance to 65 individuals.
