Easier Access to Diabetes Self-Management Training and Virtual Support.

It increases the number of covered training hours, eliminates out-of-pocket costs, and introduces testing of virtual training services, potentially enhancing care and reducing healthcare expenditures.
Key points
More diabetes self-management training hours: an initial 10 hours, then up to 2 hours annually, with no additional costs.
No out-of-pocket expenses for diabetes self-management training, reducing costs for patients.
Virtual diabetes self-management training services will be tested, making access easier, especially in remote areas.
