The goal of the Increasing Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates project was to work with state health departments and other partners to increase colorectal cancer screening rates using a variety of strategies including partnership building, data driven decision making, action planning to address barriers and facilitators to screening, and developing evidence based tools and resources that could be disseminated and implemented across states (i.e Mailed FIT). Over 15 states participated over the 5 year project and many implemented sustainable and far-reaching initiatives, including development and implementation of a statewide Medicaid CRC screening metric in California which was later adopted as part of the National CMS Medicaid Adult Core Set Quality Measures.

Providing the National DPP lifestyle change program to Medicaid beneficiaries is a critical step toward supporting at-risk populations, lowering health care costs and improving beneficiary outcomes through a variety of TA modalities:
Public Health / Medicaid partnerships: 9 states
Communities of Practice and funding for MCO/VBC pilot States: 14 states
Communities of Practice and funding for Umbrella Hub States: 4 states
All Cohort Medicaid Learning Collaborative: 24 states served.
The ultimate goal of the project was accomplished, as approximately 1000 Medicaid beneficiaries received services and both MD and OR have achieved sustainable Medicaid coverage. NACDD’s Coverage team currently offers technical assistance and/or funding to over 20 states through MCO/ value-based care (VBC) pilots, umbrella hub arrangements, building Medicaid/ Public Health partnerships, and ongoing support to Maryland and Oregon.

Beginning in April 2018, the National DPP lifestyle change program became a covered preventive service for eligible Medicare beneficiaries through the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP)—the first preventive service model tested by CMMI to be expanded into Medicare and a landmark for public health. Program delivery organizations with CDC preliminary or full recognition are eligible to apply as MDPP suppliers.
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Centers for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), State Health Departments (SHDs), national organizations, and NACDD support MDPP suppliers with technical assistance so they can be successful.
Jennifer Mosst
With support from CDC, NACDD helps increase supplier enrollment in the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) by providing technical assistance to CDC-recognized organizations and State Health Departments. NACDD supports CDC-recognized organizations to become suppliers, and supports MDPP suppliers to enroll participants and submit claims. NACDD also supports State Health Department staff and national organization staff who in turn support the MDPP suppliers and CDC-recognized organizations in their state.

Coverage Toolkit helps payers and those making the case for
coverage fully understand the program, navigate the steps needed
to cover it, and access detailed information and resources. The
Toolkit is organized according to payer type: Medicaid agencies,
Medicaid managed care organizations (MCOs), commercial
payers (health plans and employers), and Medicare. A virtual

The NACDD/CDC National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) State Engagement Model supports State Health Departments in engaging multisectoral partnerships working in a synchronized collective effort with commitment and action to achieve common goals toward scaling and sustaining the National DPP.
The State Engagement Meeting (StEM) process consists of planning, implementation, and post-meeting support. NACDD and CDC have supported 45 StEM states since 2012 and three virtual StEM states since 2021 and is supporting one state in planning their StEM for 2023. A progression of the State Engagement Model is the Bright Spot Initiative.

NACDD’s Diabetes Council includes more than 250 Members from State Health Departments and the District of Columbia who work on diabetes initiatives. The Council connects State Health Departments across the nation for the purpose of implementing diabetes prevention and management strategies.
The Diabetes Council Leadership Group is an elected body of State Health Department diabetes staff. The Leadership Group is a bridge between CDC and State Health Departments, making it easier for states to fulfill grant requirements and achieve success. Their collective voice for change enables them to advocate on behalf of State Health Departments, connect colleagues across the country, and inspire strategic direction for diabetes prevention and management.
Kim Crawford
In collaboration with CDC, NACDD provides technical assistance and support to 10 national organizations and their 100+ affiliates who are scaling the National DPP in underserved areas for the following priority populations: African Americans, American Indians, Alaska Natives, Asian Americans, Hispanics, Medicare beneficiaries, men, noninstitutionalized people with visual impairments or physical disabilities, and Pacific Islanders.
Topics explored through technical assistance and support have included enrollment and retention, screening/testing/referrals, social determinants of health and health equity, sustainability through payer coverage and umbrella hub models, and adapting programs during the pandemic.
Impacts have included new Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program (MDPP) suppliers, more employers pursuing coverage of the National DPP lifestyle change program (LCP), affiliates taking steps toward becoming National DPP Medicaid providers, and exploration of umbrella hub models for sustainability. Ultimately, more priority populations are being reached with the National DPP LCP, an important step toward health equity.

Umbrella Hub Arrangements (UHAs) connect community-based organizations (CBOs) with health care payment systems to pursue sustainable reimbursement for the National Diabetes Prevention Program (National DPP) lifestyle change program. CBOs excel at reaching populations of focus and may need administrative supports to meet program requirements and obtain reimbursement. To address these challenges, CDC funded NACDD to cooperatively develop and operationalize UHAs through the Umbrella Hub Demonstration. Lessons learned from the Umbrella Hub Demonstration have been scaled through NACDD Communities of Practice: UHA Office Hours, Medicaid Beneficiary Enrollment Project, Learn Explore Activate Problem Solve (LEAP); to result in collective impact. Through these collaborative efforts in less than three years NACDD has reached 44 organizations, helped to operationalize 13 UHA, and shared collective learnings with 250 participants at a UHA Summit. To learn more visit the “Umbrella Hub Arrangements from Concept to Collective Impact” poster.
