Medtronic and UnitedHealthcare Encouraged By First-Year Results From Value-Based Agreement

Medtronic and UnitedHealthcare have evidence that their year-old partnership is improving  health outcomes in diabetes patients that require intensive insulin delivery. An analysis of more than 6,000 UnitedHealthcare members with diabetes who used Medtronic's MiniMed 630G and previous generation insulin pumps between July 2016 and July 2017 showed 27% fewer preventable hospital admissions compared to plan-participants who were using multiple daily injections of insulin.
