With the recently enacted national health reform law, access to care for people with chronic conditions is sure to improve, however the law will not be fully implemented until 2014. The Health Share Card initiative can provide immediate relief to those without adequate insurance.

The Health Share Card utilizes care managers, stored value card technology, and a web-based platform to improve access to healthcare services. Through use of the card technology, resources can be focused on the social and medical services needed to control diabetes. This will ensure that care can be delivered at the most cost-effective, appropriate location.

Healthcare providers, public programs, charity organizations, social service agencies, drug manufacturers and community institutions (e.g. supermarket chains or YMCA/YWCAs) can all contribute resources to this initiative. The card's multiple "purses" and "intelligent rules" afford them the knowledge that their resources will be well-managed and only withdrawn from the card as the cardholder pays for doctors' visits, purchases specific drugs at a pharmacy, or buys healthy foods.
