In April 2018, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) began reimbursing both clinical and community settings for providing the Center for Disease Control (CDC)-recognized Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) to eligible Medicare beneficiaries. To better understand the process of offering the program for Medicare beneficiaries, we interviewed relevant stakeholders in a large, integrated healthcare delivery system. Semi-structured interviews with 12 delivery system stakeholders. Data were analyzed following a thematic analysis approach. Stakeholders described systemic challenges to the implementation of Medicare DPP (MDPP), including inadequate reimbursement for the healthcare system, low awareness among patients and providers of MDPP, and challenges with utilizing third-party vendors to connect patients to CDC-recognized MDPPs. Although the reimbursement of DPP for Medicare beneficiaries was a landmark decision, the current structure and requirements make it difficult for health systems and community-based providers to implement and promote this benefit. This study highlights the challenges even integrated health systems are facing to implement MDPP as well as potential strategies to overcome these barriers and expand the reach of the program. Medicare should seek ways to increase the financial incentives and decrease the barriers associated with implementing MDPP. This study presents challenges of implementing the CDC-approved Diabetes Prevention Program for Medicare beneficiaries at a large, integrated healthcare delivery system.
