Prepare
Enrollment, consent, benefits verification, social-risk screening, and clinical preparation.
Diabetes 250
A six-month, food-first diabetes pilot built to produce a real proof point.
250 eligible members identified. Approximately 100 engaged. Twenty-six weeks of weekly groceries, coordinated clinical care, practical education, and a formal Month 6 evaluation.
The pilot at a glance
A defined cohort. A defined intervention. A decision-ready evaluation.
Diabetes 250 is designed for people with diabetes and at least one additional chronic condition. The organization identifies the eligible population. FareRx manages outreach and enrollment with a target of approximately 100 actively engaged participants.

Evaluation and graduation
250 is the opportunity pool, not the paid enrollment count. Grocery investment follows completed deliveries, not members who never engage.
Who the program is for
Simple eligibility. Smarter prioritization.
The core stays standardized. Prioritization can adapt to the needs and data available in each population.
Core eligibility
- Diagnosed diabetes
- At least one additional chronic condition
Prioritization signals
- Comorbidity burden
- Uncontrolled clinical markers
- Recent acute utilization
- Food insecurity or other upstream barriers
- Current or trailing claims spend
Diabetes is a practical place to begin because it often overlaps with medication complexity, other chronic conditions, and measurable clinical markers over a defined period.
One coordinated program
Members experience food, education, and clinical support as one program, even when multiple pathways operate behind the scenes.
The member experience
Six months of food-first care.
The curriculum moves from clinical preparation to practical food skills, then ends with a formal evaluation and a maintenance plan.
02
Week 0
Establish the baseline
Physician kickoff, dietitian intake, agreed baseline measures, and grocery delivery begin.
03
Month 1
Food and medications
Connect nutrition choices with medications and chronic-condition management.
04
Month 2
Shopping, labels, and budget
Build practical skills members can use in their everyday environment.
05
Month 3
Cook and reassess
Practice in the kitchen and complete the midpoint clinical review, including A1c where appropriate.
06
Month 4
Real-life eating
Plan for restaurants, special occasions, setbacks, and relapse prevention.
07
Month 5
Understand the numbers
Help members understand their clinical data, progress, and self-management.
08
Month 6
Graduate and evaluate
Repeat agreed measures, assess progress, build the maintenance plan, and produce the outcomes report.
After Month 6, members can transition into lower-intensity clinical support where appropriate. Continued groceries are a separate organizational decision.
Food as curriculum
The food is not a giveaway. It is part of the care model.
Clinical session themes shape the groceries that follow, so members can practice at home with the food in front of them.
- What to eat
- How to shop
- How to prepare food
- How nutrition interacts with medication
- How to handle real-life eating
- How to make changes that last beyond the pilot
What members can receive
One member experience, coordinated around food.
Depending on coverage, eligibility, and clinical need, Diabetes 250 can coordinate food, clinical care, education, measurement, and navigation in one program.
Food
Weekly condition-supportive groceries tied to the care plan.
Clinical care
Physician-led oversight, dietitian care, MNT, CCM, and RPM when appropriate.
Practical skills
Shopping, labels, cooking, medication education, and real-life eating.
Navigation
Support for documented social needs and appropriate care escalation.
Weekly condition-supportive groceries
Physician-led clinical oversight
Registered dietitian support and Medical Nutrition Therapy
Chronic Care Management
Remote physiologic monitoring when clinically appropriate
Medication and treatment-plan review
Food and medication education
Social-needs and care navigation where appropriate
Clinical measurement and escalation
Six-month graduation and maintenance planning
Commercial model
A simple utilization-based structure.
Diabetes 250 is designed around a simple utilization-based structure. Partners fund the incremental food intervention based on completed grocery deliveries, while eligible clinical services can flow through existing medical benefits when coverage and reimbursement requirements are met.
Bring the model to your clinical, benefits, and finance teams.
Request the concise pilot overview, then use a working session with FareRx to pressure-test the cohort, funding approach, and evaluation plan.
Request the pilot overviewWhat we measure
Six months should produce a real proof point.
The evaluation separates what FareRx can measure directly from outcomes that require organizational claims data. Comparison methods and outcome measures are agreed before launch.
Engagement
Enrollment, activation, attendance, grocery utilization, clinical participation, and retention.
Clinical
A1c where appropriate, blood pressure, weight, and other agreed clinical measures.
Self-management
Food skills, medication barriers, member goals, and appropriate validated measures.
Social barriers
Food insecurity, documented upstream barriers, and navigation activity.
Utilization
Emergency, inpatient, outpatient, and other claims-based measures when supplied by the organization.
Experience
Member satisfaction, qualitative feedback, and the overall program experience.
The six-month evaluation is the commercial proof point.
The initial pilots are designed to create the standardized clinical, engagement, and claims dataset needed to support stronger performance commitments over time. Diabetes 250 does not promise guaranteed A1c improvement, pharmacy savings, utilization reduction, claims ROI, or medical-spend reduction.
Standardized core, flexible implementation
Built to be repeatable without being rigid.
Diabetes 250 is a starting point. The core stays standardized while the implementation adapts to the organization.
