Key Points

The study aims to evaluate how QCCTA imaging impacts health outcomes and costs for diabetic members in health plans.
Analyzed utilization of QCCTA imaging in an employed diabetic population
Measured variations in demographic-related utilization
Assessed short-term health plan expenditures for cardiovascular care
Higher utilization of QCCTA was observed among certain demographic groups
Increased near-term health plan costs for cardiovascular care were noted
Longer-term studies are needed to assess outcomes in value-based care models

Abstract

Utilization of QCCTA offered to an employed population with diabetes varies by demographics while increasing near-term health plan expenditure for cardiovascular care. Longer-term studies are warranted to evaluate QCCTA's impact in value-based care models on diabetic members' health outcomes and total health plan spend.
