Testimony from a Hokie Mom! “Insulin and other diabetic supplies are expensive! A friend told me about a program through Anthem called ConditionCare which provides a free health and wellness program to support type 1 and type 2 diabetics. They also support other conditions. I made the call and was connected with a nurse care manager who guided me through the process. Now my son speaks with ConditionCare once a month and his diabetic supplies and endocrinologist checkup costs are covered by the program. It was easy and the money we are saving can go towards other things for him!” 17 17
