## Summary

**Expands Medicare coverage and tests virtual delivery of diabetes self-management training.** This bill would create a clear schedule of outpatient diabetes self-management training hours, let physicians or qualified nonphysician practitioners authorize medically necessary training, change cost-sharing so Medicare pays 100 percent of the lesser of the actual charge or the applicable fee schedule for DSMT, and require the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to test virtual DSMT models.
