ConsumerTxSM summaries for your patients
Asuris has created ConsumerTx treatment summaries, available online to members and providers at http://blue.regence.com/trgmedpol/contx/index.html. The summaries examine treatment alternatives that your patients may have heard about on the news or from friends or relatives.
We have carefully identified the most reliable scientific evidence for specific treatments and summarized it in an easy-to-understand format for your patients' use. A few of the summaries available include:
- Varicose Vein Treatment
- Weight Loss (Bariatric) Surgery
- Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
- Back Surgery - Degenerative Spinal Disc
- Continuous Glucose Monitoring for Diabetes
New summaries will be added each month as they are created. We hope you find these summaries to be a helpful patient tool.
