Bill > S2191

This bill requires Medicaid to cover diabetes self-management education, training, services, and equipment for individuals diagnosed with diabetes, gestational diabetes, and pre-diabetes. This coverage includes expenses for education and training to help patients manage their condition, medical nutrition therapy provided by a registered dietitian, items and services for diabetes prevention programs for those with pre-diabetes, and necessary supplies and equipment for managing diabetes, such as blood glucose monitoring tools and insulin delivery devices. The bill also mandates that the Commissioner of Human Services seek federal approval and adopt necessary regulations to implement these changes and secure federal funding.
