Summary

The Diabetes Act amends Medicare statutes so that, during a beneficiary’s first year of enrollment, doctors can certify use of diabetes technology and the government must issue forms and guidance to keep that coverage in place. It also includes a non‑binding sense of Congress asking the HHS Secretary to recognize the software that runs automated insulin delivery systems as a “reasonable and necessary” medical supply. The goal is to prevent gaps in access to continuous glucose monitors, insulin pumps and related software for Medicare recipients.
