HR 7856 United States House · 118th Congress

PREVENT DIABETES Act

This bill establishes Medicare coverage for diabetes prevention program services to help prevent type 2 diabetes in at-risk beneficiaries. It defines these services as structured behavioral health sessions following a CDC-approved curriculum, available to Medicare beneficiaries who haven't been diagnosed with diabetes (other than gestational diabetes) and meet specific medical criteria. The bill creates a new payment structure for diabetes prevention program suppliers, requiring them to be recognized by the CDC and meet administrative requirements for tracking participant data and maintaining program standards. It also sets a transition deadline of January 1, 2025, for ending the previous Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program Expanded Model and requires a report on the program's impact by 2028.
