This section provides resources about covering the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) lifestyle change program in Medicaid.
The Medicaid coverage subsection provides information on the authorities or mechanisms needed to claim state Medicaid funds and federal Medicaid matching funds for the program. The other subsections provide information on how to implement and operate the program in Medicaid, with a focus on a Medicaid fee-for-service environment. Information on how to implement and operate the program in a managed care environment can be found in the Medicaid MCOs section.
In a fee-for-service environment, the Medicaid agency contracts with and pays providers directly for each covered service provided to Medicaid beneficiaries. In a managed care environment, the Medicaid agency contracts with and pays managed care organizations (MCOs) a capitated rate to deliver Medicaid covered services to beneficiaries.
