Hi,
I need someone to shed some light on this for me. When would you consider Insulin to be a high risk med? I have read it's only considered "high" risk when it's given in IV form under emergent circumstances and I have also read in a clinic setting (follow up office) without insulin can pose a threat to life. But I am having a hard time wrapping my head around if a patient is insulin dependent, but labs are within normal limits, dosage remains the same or tweaked slightly and have a "high" level of risk.
I have tried to find direction through Noridian Jurisdiction F, no guidance. Does anyone know where I can find information to explain when insulin under certain cicumstances is considered a "high" risk med?
Thank you so much in advance!
