Summary
The PREVENT DIABETES Act would expand the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program to include virtual and online providers. Currently, Medicare only covers these prevention services—which include coaching on nutrition and physical activity for those at risk of type 2 diabetes—when they are delivered in person. By allowing programs that meet CDC standards to operate digitally, the bill aims to make these health resources more accessible to seniors in rural areas or those with limited transportation.
