You can generate revenue by sponsoring your own quality diabetes self-management training (DSMT) program. The CMS Quality Improvement Organization (QIO) Program has contracted reimbursement expert, Mary Ann Hodorowicz, to offer individualized technical assistance to health agencies at no cost.

Mary Ann can help your practice successfully operationalize your diabetes programs (DSMT, medical nutrition therapy, professional and personal use continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), and intensive behavior therapy for obesity benefit and the chronic care management benefit) so you can generate revenue and improve clinical and behavioral outcomes of persons with diabetes. Mary Ann is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Diabetes Educator, and a Certified Endocrinology Coder. She also offers individualized consulting and time-saving turnkey materials for obtaining recognition from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) or accreditation by the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE), a pre-requisite for reimbursement.

If your practice wants to achieve certification of its DSMT program but is struggling to find the time and expertise, you need help!

“Mary Ann has the ability to take a relatively complex subject like DSMT and MNT Reimbursement, and make them both understandable and interesting!”
