What Our Patients Say About us

Trisha Elliot

Test , Iowa

I’ve had nothing but great experiences with Iowa Diabetes! The online zoom classes were super informative and helpful. I felt as if I was downing in confusion and scared. Those classes explained what Diabetes is, how it works, and how to successfully live with it. There are plenty of people to talk to and they are always available to give advice. I have recently visited the clinic for care. It was very positive and they made me feel really cared for. I recommend Iowa Diabetes to everyone!

Since starting the study I am down more than 60 pounds and 6 clothes sizes. I feel the best I have felt in a very long time… Thanks to Iowa Diabetes Research for this life changing study. Although thanks doesn’t seem like enough. The staff have been wonderful to work with.

I love Iowa Diabetes! It feels great to be here and have all the support I can have. They’re so friendly and helpful! In 2018, my A1C was 13.1. As of today, it’s down to 6.1! I’m just very blessed that I found a place like this.

FAQ

Can I be seen in the clinic for coughs, cold and other illnesses?

No, we are a specialty diabetes clinic.

Test FAQ

This is a sample text

What will I be charged for my visit?

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.

Will my insurance cover my visit?

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.

Why should I pay for “out of network” 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

How can I contact the clinic?

Please email care@iowadiabetes.com and you will receive a response promptly. You may also call the clinic during daytime hours at (515) 329-6800. We do not have evening or on-call coverage.

Do I have to have diabetes to be seen at the clinic?

Yes, we only see patients who have a diagnosis of diabetes to help them manage their diabetes and associated conditions.

What should I expect at my appointment?

You will check in at the front desk when you first get to the clinic. Then, you will be seen by one of our team members based on your needs. Our team includes Dr. Bhargava (diabetes doctor/endocrinologist), Kathy (Nurse Practitioner), and Jamie (Clinical Pharmacist). You may also see other team members. Our goal is to meet your diabetes care needs and provide you thorough diabetes recommendations in your treatment plan.
