This bill, known as the PREVENT DIABETES Act, aims to expand access to diabetes prevention services by integrating virtual suppliers into the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) Expanded Model . It directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to revise regulations by January 1, 2026, ensuring that these changes are effective from 2026 through 2030. A key provision allows entities to participate in the MDPP by offering services exclusively online, utilizing synchronous or asynchronous technology, provided they meet existing enrollment conditions for suppliers. For these virtual providers, the administrative location will be their address on file with the Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program, and claims for services delivered across state lines cannot be denied solely based on the beneficiary's location. Furthermore, the legislation removes any existing limits on the number of times an individual may enroll in the MDPP, thereby increasing opportunities for beneficiaries to access these crucial prevention services. These measures are designed to enhance accessibility and engagement with evidence-based diabetes prevention strategies.
