A. The Oklahoma Health Care Authority shall examine the feasibility of a state plan amendment to the Oklahoma Medicaid Program for diabetes self-management training (DSMT).
B. By December 1, 2018, the Authority shall submit a report to the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the Governor estimating the potential costs to the state, clinical findings, reviews of pilot projects and research from other states on the effects of DSMT on persons with a diabetes diagnosis.
C. Beginning July 1, 2019, and subject to the availability of funding, the Authority shall draft a state plan amendment for DSMT for persons with a diabetes diagnosis. The provisions of this subsection shall only apply if the report required by subsection B of this section demonstrates DSMT to be evidence-based and essential to qualifying participants in the Oklahoma Medicaid Program.
D. As used in this section, "diabetes self-management training (DSMT)" means the process of facilitating the knowledge, skill and ability necessary for diabetes self-care. This process requires incorporating the patient's unique needs and experiences into an individualized education and support plan that promotes new behaviors and solutions, including, but not limited to, healthy eating, physical activity, self-monitoring and medication use.
