AI Summary
This bill, the Expanding Access to Diabetes Self-Management Training Act of 2019 (or the Expanding Access to DSMT Act of 2019), aims to improve access to diabetes outpatient self-management training (DSMT) services under Medicare. It expands the number of DSMT hours covered by Medicare and establishes a demonstration program to test an online platform for providing such training. The bill also waives the requirement for DSMT services to be furnished in an outpatient setting for the purposes of the demonstration program. Additionally, the bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to evaluate the demonstration program and provides them with the authority to expand the program if it is expected to reduce Medicare spending without reducing quality of care or improve the quality of care without increasing spending.
