WNY Integrated Care has been accepted into the National Council on Aging’s 2018-2019 Center for Healthy Aging Medicare Reimbursement Learning Collaborative (MRLC). The purpose of the MRLC is to achieve integrated, sustainable service systems for Chronic Disease Self-Management Education (CDSME) programs by supporting state and community-based organizations as they work to obtain accreditation for their diabetes programs and payment for CDSME services through the following distinct Medicare benefits: Diabetes Self-Management Training (DSMT), Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT), Health and Behavior Assessment and Intervention (HBAI), and Chronic Care Management (CCM).  WNY Integrated Care looks forward to collaborating with regional partners in the delivery and subsequent reimbursement of these programs.
