For a map of current DPP Delivery Organizations, visit the DPP Map. If your organization is interested in have your CDC-recognized DPP listed, or would like your program information updated, contact gustafsonT2@michigan.gov.
All MiDPP providers will need to contract directly with Medicaid Health Plans to submit claims to a Medicaid member’s health plan.

Check back with this site frequently as new service areas may be approved monthly.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Diabetes Prevention Recognition Program (DPRP) are allowing delivery mode flexibilities from the public health emergency to extend through 12/31/2023. This means that any cohorts that start on or before 12/31/23 using a delivery mode other than what has been officially approved can continue that mode until the cohort is finished.
For example, if you are only approved for in-person DPP delivery, you could start a DPP cohort on 12/31/23 that is carried out online and that cohort could stay in the online mode until it is finished. This extension also applies to Medicare DPP providers.
To confirm how this extension affects your DPP, reach out to GustafsonT2@Michigan.gov or DavenportA1@Michigan.gov.
