Implementing a Successful DPP Reimbursement Model: What You Need to Know

Is your organization interested in investing in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) for your employees or members, but don’t know where to start? Then this webinar is for you! Topics include: models for covering the DPP, how to set up your reimbursement structure, as well as how your coverage model can be aligned with Medicare DPP.

Compounding on Your Diabetes Prevention Investment: Finding the Payoff

Employers and health plans have a unique opportunity to invest in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). The DPP focuses on participants choosing healthier foods, being more physically active and losing weight –which have been proven to reduce risk in individuals with prediabetes by 58 percent!

This webinar will cover everything an employer or health plan needs to know to get started with the DPP within their own organization.
