Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes would get free, set hours of training and virtual options.
Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes would no longer pay out-of-pocket costs for diabetes self-management training. The bill would also set specific hours for this training and allow more types of medical professionals to refer patients. Additionally, it would require Medicare to test offering these training services online.
Today, Medicare beneficiaries with diabetes pay deductibles and coinsurance for self-management training, and the government sets the total hours. This bill would end out-of-pocket costs for beneficiaries. It would also set clear training hours: an initial 10 hours, plus 2 hours each year, with no limits if medically necessary. It would also require Medicare to test offering these training services online.
