S. 4037 expands Medicare coverage for people with diabetes by improving access to diabetes self-management training and ensuring continued coverage of critical diabetes technologies. Beginning January 1, 2027, the bill increases the hours of training available from limited amounts to 10 initial hours plus 2 additional hours per year, eliminates copayments and deductibles for these services, and allows more healthcare providers to refer patients for training. Additionally, starting January 1, 2031, the bill guarantees that continuous glucose monitors and insulin pumps remain covered as durable medical equipment under Medicare, protecting beneficiaries from potential coverage gaps or restrictions on these life-sustaining devices.
