Bill information
Summary
A bill to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to reduce the occurrence of diabetes in Medicare beneficiaries by extending coverage under Medicare for medical nutrition therapy services to such beneficiaries with pre-diabetes or with risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would expand Medicare coverage to include medical nutrition therapy services for people at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Medical nutrition therapy is specialized counseling from a registered dietitian to help manage diet and prevent disease. Currently, Medicare covers these services only for people who already have diabetes or certain other conditions. The bill would add coverage for Medicare beneficiaries with pre-diabetes (blood sugar levels higher than normal but not yet diabetic) or risk factors for type 2 diabetes. The bill was introduced in Congress and is currently awaiting review.
