Delivery Modes-In-person. Yearlong lifestyle change program delivered 100% in-person for all participants by trained Lifestyle Coaches, meaning participants are physically present in a classroom or classroom-like setting. Lifestyle Coaches may supplement in-person sessions with handouts, emails, or reminder texts, although none of these may be the sole method of participant communication.

Online. Yearlong lifestyle change program delivered 100% online for all participants, meaning participants log into course sessions via a computer, laptop, tablet, or smart phone. Participants must interact with trained Lifestyle Coaches at various times and can interact using various communication methods, including online classes, emails, phone calls, or texts.

Distance learning. Yearlong lifestyle change program delivered 100% by trained Lifestyle Coaches via remote classroom or telehealth (i.e., conference call or Skype) where the Lifestyle Coach is present in one location and participants are calling in or video-conferencing from another location.

Combination. Yearlong lifestyle change program delivered as a combination of any of the above defined delivery modes for all participants by trained Lifestyle Coaches.

Pending RecognitionMust meet Standards requirements 1-4:

▪ Requirement 1: Submit an application for recognition.

May remain in Pending status for up to 36 months

▪ Can achieve Preliminary during this period

▪ Can achieve Full during this period without going through Preliminary first

▪ Failure to achieve Preliminary or Full recognition during this period will result in a loss of recognition and a mandatory 6 month waiting period before reapplying.

Must submit the required data every 6 months

8

Preliminary RecognitionRequired to become a new MDPP supplier, if not already in Full recognition

Must have been in Pending recognition status for at least 12 months

Preliminary RecognitionMay remain in Preliminary status for up to 24 months, provided requirements for Preliminary recognition are again met at 12 months after initially achieving Preliminary, or be withdrawn and wait 6 months before reapplying.

Must submit the required data every 6 months

Must achieve Full recognition within 24 months or be withdrawn and wait 6 months before reapplying

10

Full RecognitionRequired to become an MDPP supplier after the 24 months of Preliminary expires

Must have submitted data on at least one completed class

Must meet requirements 5-9 in the DPRP Standards:

▪ Based on eligible participants who attended at least 3 sessions in the first six months and whose time from first session attended to last session attended was at least 9 months; must have a minimum of 5 participants who meet these criteria

Full RecognitionRequirement 6: The evaluated, yearlong cohort of participants must have body weight documented during at least 80% of the sessions.

Requirement 7: A evaluated, yearlong cohort of participants must have physical activity minutes documented during at least 60% of the sessions. Note: Zero recorded minutes does not count as documented minutes.

Requirement 8: The average weight loss across all participants in the evaluated, yearlong cohort must be a minimum of 5% of “starting” body weight.

Requirement 9: A minimum of 35% of all participants in a cohort must be eligible for the lifestyle change program based on either a blood test indicating prediabetes or a history of GDM.

13

Reporting of Data to the DPRPAll organizations must make a data submission every 6 months according to their data submission schedule.

Organizations will receive a report after each data submission.

▪ Progress report if a full cohort(s) of data is not available

▪ Evaluation report if a full cohort(s) of data is available

▸ Full evaluation on complete cohort(s)

▸ Progress on ongoing participants (those who began 7-12 months before evaluation)
