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, also known as the PREVENT DIABETES Act, aims to expand access to the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) by allowing entities to provide these services virtually, through online or distance learning methods, between January 1, 2026, and December 31, 2029. This means that individuals enrolled in the MDPP, referred to as MDPP beneficiaries, can receive services from MDPP suppliers even if they are not in the same state as the provider, and providers will not be penalized for this cross-state service delivery. The bill also removes any limits on how many times an individual can enroll in the MDPP, and clarifies that terms like "distance learning," "MDPP beneficiary," "MDPP services," "MDPP supplier," and "online" will be defined according to existing regulations in the Code of Federal Regulations, with the Secretary of Health and Human Services empowered to implement these changes through various means.
