How do the coaching codes differ from the MDPP?

Answered by Angel Reyes, MCHES®Last verified: November 5, 2026

Short answer

MDPP suppliers enroll in Medicare and bill directly for a CDC-recognized prediabetes curriculum. Health coaching codes are billed only by a supervising practitioner, aren't tied to one condition or curriculum, and are furnished under general supervision.

See the full comparison: MDPP vs health coaching codes. Verify MDPP supplier and eligibility rules on CMS's MDPP pages.
