Objective
This study used recent claims data, from services received between 2018 and 2020, to examine the prevalence of diabetes and to determine if patients with diabetes are more or less likely to receive annual hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) screening. It also examined the association between receipt of HbA1c testing in 2019 and diabetes-related health outcomes in 2020.
