The Medicaid Coverage for the National DPP Demonstration Project was a multi-year venture, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), managed by the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors (NACDD), and implemented in Maryland and Oregon. The purpose of the project was to demonstrate how state Medicaid agencies, in collaboration with State Health Departments, could implement delivery models for the National DPP lifestyle change program to Medicaid beneficiaries at high risk for type 2 diabetes through managed care organizations (MCOs). The Medicaid Demonstration Project’s ultimate goal was to achieve sustainable coverage of the National DPP lifestyle change program for Medicaid beneficiaries under current Medicaid authorities.
Please join Maryland and Oregon, CDC, NACDD, and Leavitt Partners to examine key learnings and results from this landmark project and consider how your state can advance Medicaid coverage for the National DPP lifestyle change program.
Learning Objectives:

- Identify evaluation results and key lessons learned from the Medicaid Coverage for the National DPP Demonstration Project.
