Bill Summary

A BILL To provide for the inclusion of virtual diabetes prevention program suppliers in the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program Expanded Model, and for other purposes.

AI Summary

This bill aims to expand the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) by allowing virtual or online diabetes prevention program providers to participate in the program between January 1, 2026, and December 31, 2030. Specifically, the bill will permit entities to offer online MDPP services through synchronous or asynchronous technology, as long as they meet existing enrollment conditions. The bill removes geographic restrictions, allowing providers to submit claims for services provided to beneficiaries in different states, and eliminates limits on the number of times an individual can enroll in the program. Key terms include MDPP (a Medicare program designed to help prevent diabetes), and the bill requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to update regulations to implement these changes by January 1, 2026. The goal is to increase accessibility to diabetes prevention services by leveraging technology and removing barriers to participation, potentially helping more individuals at risk of diabetes to access preventive care.
