The entity will be required to provide their Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and must affirm their understanding that no entity, as defined at 2 CFR Part 25, Subpart C, may receive award of a subgrant unless the entity has provided its DUNS number.

Diabetes Self-Management Education/Training (DSME/T)
Almost one out of six of your adult patients has or is at risk of developing diabetes. Diabetes control achieved through diabetes self-management education can improve health outcomes. Refer your patients to an American Diabetes Association (ADA) recognized or American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE) accredited Diabetes Self-Management Education (DSME) Program. With a referral, classes are covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most insurance plans.
Diabetes self-management training (DSMT) and medical nutrition therapy (MNT) benefits are alarmingly underutilized by Medicare beneficiaries.
Data from the Medicare Quality Improvement Organizations (QIOs) reveals the root causes of this under utilization are limited awareness/confusion of the benefits and how to order the benefits for a patient.
The response: AADE and ADA joined forces to develop the Diabetes Services Order Form, which is designed to be an easy and convenient way for a physician or a qualified non-physician practitioner to refer their Medicare patients with diabetes to a diabetes educator for DSMT and a registered dietitian for MNT.
The standardized referral form can be used by any facility or healthcare professional and includes the key referral information required to meet Medicare regulatory requirements for MNT and/or DSMT referrals, but the form itself is not required by Medicare.

New ICD-10 Codes for Diabetes Self-Management Training: October 1, 2015 marked the switch from ICD-9 codes to ICD-10 codes. The new set of codes is greatly expanded from the previous version, allowing for more specificity in diagnoses. Learn more and see the codes now.

Diabetes Prevention Program
Are your patients at risk for type 2 diabetes? Test them today for prediabetes and recommend a Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) for those at risk.
CDC’s National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is an evidence-based lifestyle change program for preventing type 2 diabetes. The Diabetes Prevention Program research study showed that lifestyle changes reduced the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58% in people with prediabetes. The DPP is a year-long program with 16 weekly sessions and 8 monthly follow-up sessions with trained lifestyle coaches who empower participants to take charge of their health.
Which Patients Are Eligible for DPP?
To participate, patients must:
• Be at least 18 years old;
• Be overweight BMI greater than or equal to 24; greater than or equal to 22 if Asian.
• Have established risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes; or
• Have been diagnosed with prediabetes within the past year or previously diagnosed with gestational diabetes.
Recommending Patients Is Easy!
Find a DPP in your area and contact a lifestyle coach to obtain a recommendation form and refer those patients who are at risk for type 2 diabetes.

CHWs are not clinicians or healthcare providers. The services they provide do not replace the level of care that physicians, nurses and physician assistants provide to patients. As an integrated member of your care team, they can assist with the daily challenges you face like time, follow-up and patient education.
CHWs can assist with:
• Case management and care coordination • Outreach and Community Education
• Health promotion and health coaching • Community and cultural competence
• Home-based support • Basic initial health screenings
