Increase ACR testing by up to 50%

Bring disengaged members back into care with Minuteful Kidney’s at-home test. 

"I want to test like this all the time."

In the proposed 2023/4 HEDIS updates, uACR testing is required to close the new Kidney Evaluation for patients with Diabetes (KED) measurement. Close the gap by letting members test using their smartphone with Minuteful Kidney, at a time that’s convenient for them, all while receiving instant clinical-grade results from the comfort of home.

Equal access for all

An annual urine albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) test is one of the most important risk stratification tools for cardiovascular and kidney disease. Minuteful Kidney allows at-risk members, across all income levels, locations and ethnicities, to easily test from home and better protect their health. All that’s needed is a valid address and a smartphone! Members test at-home by simply:

Receive

Eligible patients receive the Minuteful Kidney kit straight to their door.

Test

Engage

Results are available immediately for your patients to share and discuss with their care team.

Democratizing access to care with readily available technology, which is our smartphone, allows patients to test in the privacy of their own home.
