Insights on Improving Health Insurance Literacy in Diabetes
Authors' conclusion
Solutions for health-insurance education include strategies to incorporate education into academic curricula, diabetes transition programs, community health fairs, and employing community health workers within health-care systems. Although there is a validated health insurance literacy measure, consistent use of this measure across future programs can further the critically needed science in this field.
