Info for Patients with Chronic Conditions
Cardiometabolic Care offers cost-savings, clinical improvements, and a better quality of life to patients with cardiometabolic challenges.
Our dedicated researchers and clinical practice experts work with the country’s most forward-thinking primary care physicians (PCPs), endocrinologists, and cardiologists to resolve more than two dozen cardiometabolic conditions.
We help physicians and advanced practice clinicians—trusted healthcare providers like pharmacists, physician assistants, and advanced practice nurses—provide the kinds of coaching, lifestyle advice, and low-cost prescription drugs you want and need. This approach typically costs patients like you less than $100 per month!
Cardiometabolic Care was developed after a research-savvy rural physician named William H. Bestermann, MD, discovered that a single molecular signaling pathway associated with human biology was remarkably shared by more than two dozen cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs). This discovery highlighted the possibility that multiple chronic conditions could be prevented or treated with a unified “broad-spectrum” approach.
Dr. Bestermann partnered with a health plan, a large employer, hundreds of primary care practices, and others to validate his methods—and the results were undeniable. Cardiometabolic Care’s clinical protocols and primary care practice-transformation toolkits—along with coaching, lifestyle advice, and low-cost prescription drugs—prevent, mitigate, or reverse dozens of burdensome and even life-threatening health challenges.

While the largely overlooked metabolic common denominator that Dr. Bestermann discovered is gain broad recognition—with the help of your primary care physician—you can benefit from this approach today.
Cardiometabolic Care reduces your chance of experiencing a life-threatening event (e.g., like a heart attack or stroke) by 9% to 34%, depending on your underlying health conditions. And, if you’ve already suffered a heart attack, Cardiometabolic Care can reduce your risk of subsequent heart attacks by tenfold.
Obviously, reducing the risk of another acute event is important to you and your family!
If you’re in a high deductible health plan, then saving money matters too. For heart attacks alone, the kind of optimal medical therapy associated with Cardiometabolic Care reduces healthcare costs by more than $21,900 per patient per year.
