Background

  • ADA recognized programs can bill Medicaid, Medicare and private insurers for self-management training

Purpose

  • To increase access to self-management training in all areas of the state
  • To provide reimbursement to local health departments for providing this education
  • To address health disparities
  • To encourage linkages with statewide and community partners
