<br>
<br>
Please see the attached flyer for a free National DPP Lifestyle Coach training that starts in early December. The training is for organizations who would like to or are already working with Oregon’s first National DPP Umbrella Hub (Oregon Wellness Network).
For those new to this work, background is provided below. <br>
<br>
<b><u>Background:</u></b><br>
<br>
</span><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif">The <span style="color:#0070C0">
<a href="https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes-prevention/index.html"><span style="color:#0070C0">National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP)</span></a></span> is a year-long program proven to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes. Organizations across the country apply
to the CDC to become a Recognized National DPP Organization where they send their staff to become trained Lifestyle Coaches who can offer the National DPP using a CDC-recognized curriculum. CDC-Recognized Organizations are required to
<span style="color:black">consistently </span>work with the CDC to report program results and to maintain their recognition status. If you are interested in becoming a recognized organization,
<span style="color:black">email <a href="mailto:Lizzie.E.Moore@oha.oregon.gov"><span style="color:black">Lizzie.E.Moore@oha.oregon.gov</span></a> or contact either of the two technical assistance providers we have in Oregon, Donald Kain at the Harold Schnitzer
Diabetes Health Center (</span><span style="color:#0070C0"><a href="mailto:kaind@ohsu.edu"><span style="color:#0070C0">kaind@ohsu.edu</span></a></span><span style="color:black">), or Lavinia Goto at the Oregon Wellness Network (</span><span style="color:#0070C0"><a href="mailto:Lavinia.goto@nwsds.org"><span style="color:#0070C0">Lavinia.goto@nwsds.org</span></a></span><span style="color:black">).

<span style="color:black">also </span>be entered onto Compass<span style="color:black"> by the National DPP instructors (</span>in a secure area<span style="color:black">)</span> to allow for the completion of reports

is free of charge. OHA-partner, Comagine Health, also offers free technical assistance to organizations who want to get started on using Compass
<span style="color:black">– <a href="https://comagine.org/program/compass-programs">
Comagine’s contact information can be found here</a>. <br>
</span><br>
The National DPP is covered by both Oregon Medicaid and Medicare (and some private insurance), so health systems, clinics and other organizations who have the capability and desire to bill insurance for the National DPP programs offered can do so, and billing
guidance is provided <span style="color:#0070C0"><a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.oregon.gov%2foha%2fHPA%2fdsi-tc%2fDocuments%2fNational-DPP-Companion-Guide.pdf&c=E,1,hVXJLVT3Vx1aDHY94HvIfOZ5YEfgooEt5IUnMiC66KnTGOs73g_9N3YfQfaequdRYd1dQy0M5LF1oAaXGT_xpjf1z9fLAbsM-Qw5eIyfARwhQWD0G_I7&typo=1"><span style="color:#0070C0">here</span></a></span>.
<span style="color:black"><br>
<br>
</span>For communities or organizations who want to offer the National DPP and have received their National DPP organization code but don’t have the capacity to meet the rigor of becoming a fully CDC-Recognized Organization and/or to complete the
<span style="color:black">ongoing </span>reporting requirements to the CDC, Oregon has what’s called a CDC Umbrella Hub Arrangement (UH or UHA). OHA-partner, Oregon Wellness Network, is
<span style="color:black">the first</span> CDC-recognized UH organization and can train Lifestyle Coaches and oversee the offering of programs – thus far this can be done for free. OWN also offers a paid service where it can bill medical insurance companies
on behalf of organizations under their Umbrella Hub Arrangement. <br>
<br>
<i>If you already are working with OWN <span style="color:black">(</span>Oregon’s first Umbrella Hub Arrangement<span style="color:black">)</span> to offer the National Diabetes Prevention Program - or would like to - the attached flyer advertises free National
DPP Lifestyle Coach training that starts in <span style="color:black">early </span>
December. Take a look and contact Lavinia Goto at <span style="color:#0070C0"><a href="mailto:Lavinia.goto@nwsds.org"><span style="color:#0070C0">Lavinia.goto@nwsds.org</span></a></span> with any questions about becoming a Lifestyle Coach via the December training
