Medicare covers a once-per-lifetime health behavior change program to help
you prevent type 2 diabetes. The program begins with weekly core sessions
offered in a group setting over a 6-month period.
In these sessions, you’ll get:
• Training to make realistic, lasting behavior changes around diet and exercise.
• Tips on how to get more exercise.
• Strategies to control your weight.
• A specially trained coach to help keep you motivated.
• Support from people with similar goals and challenges.
Once you complete the core sessions, you’ll get 6 monthly follow-up sessions to
help you maintain healthy habits.
