2 USPSTF Diabetes Screening Guideline

3 New USPSTF Abnormal Blood Glucose and Type 2 Diabetes Screening Guideline Experts say: Screen for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes in adults who are at risk 2008 USPSTF risk factors 2015 USPSTF risk factors High blood pressure 40-70 & overweight/obese Family history GDM or PCOS Ethnic/racial minority

4 New USPSTF Guideline Details and Coverage Implications • Private health plans must cover screening test with no co-pay • USPSTF guideline more closely aligned with ADA • A1c is now recognized as a valid screening test • For the first time ever, USPSTF recommends screening for prediabetes and referral to diabetes prevention program • Clinicians should offer or refer patients with prediabetes to lifestyle intervention, such as National DPP, at no-cost for the prevention of type 2 diabetes

Medicare Coverage for the National DPP

13 Medicare Announcement on National DPP • In March 2016, the Department of Health and Human Services announced a proposal for Medicare to begin covering diabetes prevention programs for seniors with prediabetes . • The announcement was based on a successful demonstration project by the YMCA of the USA, funded through the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation. • The 3 year project delivered the National DPP to nearly 8,000 beneficiaries in 17 communities. • The demonstration found seniors who participated in the YMCA’s Diabetes Prevention Program reduced their risk of developing diabetes and saved $2,650 over 15 months in reduced health care expenditures.

14 Medicare Coverage of National DPP • DAA met with CMS/CMMI officials in May 2016 to discuss implementation of the benefit • CMMI in the drivers seat and confirmed A1c will be used as a test for prediabetes screening and determination of eligibility • Inferred CDC DPRP recognition would be a requirement to be a provider of DPP • Payment will be structured around attainment of goals (e.g. # of sessions attended, weight loss, maintenance) • Coverage expected beginning January 2018 at no-cost to patie nts • Additional information about implementation of this new Medicare benefit is expected in June 2016 as part of the annual Physician Fee Schedule rule released by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

15 Medicaid Coverage of National DPP

16 State Health Plan Coverage of National DPP • The Affordable Care Act provides states a 1 percentage point increase in their federal Medicaid match rate for preventive services if they cover all adult preventive services without cost-sharing recommended by USPSTF and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for newly eligible Medicaid beneficiaries. • A handful of states have submitted state plan amendments (SPAs) to receive the increase and thus beginning in 2017 will be required to cover participation in diabetes prevention programs for the Medicaid expansion population. • States that have submitted SPAs include CA, DE, KY, MN, NH, NJ, NY, NV, OK, OR, PA, WV

Next Steps

18 Next Steps • Diabetes Advocacy Alliance (DAA) collaborating on FAQ re: new USPSTF screening guideline with Tri-Departments (HHS, Labor & Treasury) • Understanding how physicians screen-research • Education about and promotion of the USPSTF guideline • Engaging with CMS/CMMI on Medicare coverage of DPP regulation

Key Takeaways

20 Key Takeaways • When combined and fully implemented, the USPSTF recommendation and the Medicare coverage proposal will result in most Americans having access and insurance coverage to diabetes prevention programs at no cost . • Novo Nordisk Inc. provides support to the National DPP through advocacy and action • Health care providers, health systems, health plans, and the community can help increase access to the National DPP
