Bill overview
This bill, the Preventing Diabetes in Medicare Act of 2021, aims to reduce the incidence of diabetes among Medicare beneficiaries by expanding Medicare coverage to include medical nutrition therapy services for those with pre-diabetes or risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes. Currently, Medicare only covers screening for pre-diabetes, but this legislation would provide access to interventions designed to prevent or delay the onset of the disease. The bill seeks to improve health outcomes and potentially save significant healthcare costs associated with diabetes.
