ASHEVILLE, North Carolina—Aeroflow Health, a health care company that leverages technology to support the delivery of medical products and services, announced the nationwide partnership with health insurance provider, Cigna, to provide patients with nutrition services via telehealth with qualified dietitians to utilize food to improve overall health.
The medical nutrition therapy program will cater to patient populations who most benefit from nutrition interventions, including new mothers and the diabetic, chronically ill populations. This partnership will give Cigna patients access to registered dietitians to work on specific dietary changes that can help them boost milk production for breastfeeding, lose weight, reduce their glucose/A1C, reduce cholesterol and blood pressure, lower the risk for heart disease and increase overall energy. Aeroflow’s registered dieticians will provide personalized meal plans and lifestyle tips to help patients build sustainable, healthy habits for the long term, all from the comfort of patients’ homes and free of charge through Cigna’s insurance.
“Nutrition plays a vital role in both the treatment and prevention of various health conditions," said Amanda Minimi, vice president of health solutions marketing and operations at Aeroflow Health. "We’ve been working diligently to increase access to our nutrition services program with partnerships like Cigna’s. By utilizing a telehealth delivery method, we’ve created a solution to ensure easy access to nutrition education, which is crucial for new mothers who are navigating their postpartum recovery while also managing their milk supply, as well as those who are combatting chronic diseases.”
In addition to providing patients with nutrition services, the program also gives health providers under Cigna a gateway to data-driven insights and multiple touch points with patients to improve adherence, outcomes and overall care coordination. Cigna patients utilizing Aeroflow’s nutrition services will also have access to additional products and supplies for diabetes, incontinence, blood pressure monitoring, sleep apnea and wound care that are covered by their insurance.
