[Self-Management_OR] Medicare DPP: CMS Guidance and COVID19 Waivers and Flexibilities

[Tori Scholl]

For CDC-Recognized Organizations supplying MDPP:

CMS has released guidance on coronavirus waivers and flexibilities for the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP).


For suppliers and beneficiaries enrolled in the MDPP benefit as of the beginning of the public health emergency, CMS is making the following temporary changes to MDPP:

*         Increase the number of virtual make-up sessions that can be offered by MDPP suppliers.

*         Allow MDPP suppliers that have the capability, to deliver certain sessions virtually.

*         Waive the once per life time benefit and allow MDPP beneficiaries whose sessions were suspended to resume sessions or start over.

Full details are included in the links below:

*         All CMS Coronavirus Waivers & Flexibilities can be found at cms.gov<http://cms.gov> at https://www.cms.gov/about-cms/emergency-preparedness-response-operations/current-emergencies/coronavirus-waivers

*         MDPP-specific fact sheet can be found at https://www.cms.gov/files/document/covid-medicare-diabetes-prevention-program.pdf

Questions should be submitted to the CMS MDPP Inquiry Portal at https://cmsorg.force.com/mdpp/
