Free Diabetes Care Through Virtual Visits

These are tough times for patients with diabetes. We want to help our community in this time of need and uncertainty. It is now more important than ever to take control of your diabetes. Our free clinic is now seeing patients, through virtual visits only. While the visit itself is free, please note that we are not providing free meds, labs, or supplies. Your free virtual visit will include a consultation with a doctor/provider and a diabetes navigator, and a pharmacist when needed.

How it Works

 

Before Your Visit

Join the Iowa Diabetes Portal and have a free pre-visit consult with your navigator.

 

During Your Visit

Create a personalized diabetes care plan with your doctor. Get all your questions answered by our team.

 

After Your Visit

Track your progress and always stay connected with us through the portal.

Not sure if virtual visits are for you?

Try our Pre-Visit Consult (also free!) before you make up your mind. This is a short visit with a patient navigator to help you prepare for any upcoming appointment you may have.

FAQ

No, we are a specialty diabetes clinic.
This is a sample text
We promise transparency in the prices we charge for the care that you receive at each visit. A list of prices will be available in June 2019 and shared with you at your visit. You will also receive an itemized bill after your appointment with all care provided.
We do not directly bill your insurance company. When you pay for your visit, you will be given an itemized bill that you can then submit to your insurance company to be reimbursed. Your visit will be considered “out-of-network” by your insurance company and the amount you are reimbursed by your insurance company will depend on your plan. If you have one, you will be able to use your HSA to pay for your care.
The care that we provide you here is different than the type of care you will receive at other places. We provide care based on your needs and concerns. Our care is more efficient and saves you time by being highly prepared to deliver expert care every visit
