Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) Expanded Model Resource: CMS.org The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), on July 7, 2016, proposed to expand the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) starting January 1, 2018. On November 4, 2016, CMS released the final rule in the 2017 Physician Fee Schedule. The Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) final rule finalizes aspects of the expansion that will enable organizations, including those new to Medicare, to prepare for enrollment into Medicare as MDPP suppliers. Finalized policies include the definition of the MDPP benefit, beneficiary eligibility criteria, and supplier eligibility and enrollment criteria. Future rule making will address policies related to payment, virtual providers, and other program integrity safeguards. This is the first time a preventive service model from the CMS Innovation Center has been expanded.
