Latest action on S. 1925: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Finance.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people with diabetes who use Medicare. It could make diabetes training easier to get, cheaper to use, and available online. It also affects doctors, qualified non-doctor health workers, diabetes educators, online training programs, and Medicare officials who would have to run and measure the new test model.

Why this matters: Many people with diabetes need regular help managing medicine, blood sugar checks, food choices, and daily care. This bill could make that help easier to get through Medicare. It could also lower out-of-pocket costs for patients. The biggest open question is cost: Medicare could spend more if many more people use the service, but better training could also reduce some hospital and emergency care over time.

Key provisions in S. 1925

• More health workers could order diabetes training for Medicare patients. The bill adds qualified non-doctor health workers, instead of limiting referrals to the managing doctor.
• Medicare would cover 10 hours of diabetes education, either one-on-one or in a group. Those hours would stay available until the patient uses them, then Medicare would cover 2 more hours each year.
• The health secretary could not cap diabetes training when a doctor or qualified non-doctor health worker says it is medically needed. That rule covers both the amount of training and how long it lasts.
• Medicare nutrition counseling rules would be updated to match the new diabetes training rules. This applies to medical nutrition therapy, which is counseling about food and diet for a health condition.
• Patients would not owe Medicare coinsurance or the deductible for outpatient diabetes self-management training. Medicare would pay 100% of the approved amount.
