Background Diabetes outpatient self-management training services are defined at section 1861(qq)(1) of the Social Security Act (the Act) as ‘‘educational and training services furnished (at such times as the Secretary determines appropriate) to an individual with diabetes by a certified provider (as described in paragraph (2)(A)) in an outpatient setting by an individual or entity who meets the quality standards described in paragraph (2)(B), but only if the physician who is managing the individual’s diabetic condition certifies that such services are needed under a PO 00000 Frm 00082 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 22211 comprehensive plan of care related to the individual’s diabetic condition to ensure therapy compliance or to provide the individual with necessary skills and knowledge (including skills related to the self-administration of injectable drugs) to participate in the management of the individual’s condition.’’ In addition, section 1861(qq)(2)(A) of the Act describes a ‘‘certified provider’’ as a physician, or other individual or entity designated by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (the Secretary), that, in addition to providing diabetes outpatient self-management training services, provides other items or services for which payment may be made under this title. Section 1861(qq)(2)(B) of the Act further specifies that a physician, or such other individual or entity, must meet the quality standards established by the Secretary, except that the physician or other individual or entity shall be deemed to have met such standards if the physician or other individual or entity meets applicable standards originally established by the National Diabetes Advisory Board and subsequently revised by organizations who participated in the establishment of standards by such Board, or is recognized by an organization that represents individuals (including individuals under this title) with diabetes as meeting standards for furnishing the services. Section 1865 of the statute also permits the Secretary to use accrediting bodies to determine whether a provider entity meets Medicare regulatory quality standards, such as those established for diabetes outpatient self-management training service programs. A national AO must be approved by CMS and meet the standards and requirements specified in 42 CFR part 410, subpart H, to qualify for Medicare deeming authority. Our regulations pertaining to the application procedures for diabetes outpatient self-management training AOs seeking CMS approval are set forth at § 410.142. A national accreditation organization applying for deeming authority must provide CMS with reasonable assurance that it requires the diabetes outpatient self-management training suppliers it accredits to meet the CMS’ quality standards, the National Standards for Diabetes Outpatient SelfManagement Education and Support (NSDSMES) standards, or an alternative set of standards that meet or exceed our requirements that have been developed by that AO and have been approved by CMS.
