The HAP Diabetes Prevention Program is a CDC-recognized lifestyle program, and the page names Medicare Advantage members.
HAP describes a CDC-recognized lifestyle change program powered by the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan and Henry Ford Health. The page names Medicare Advantage members as eligible, so an employer must confirm what applies to a commercial group.
What the program is and what members do.
What the program is
HAP describes it as a CDC-recognized lifestyle change program, part of the National Diabetes Prevention Program. The aim, as HAP states it, is to help participants lower their risk of type 2 diabetes and build healthy habits with a trained lifestyle coach.
How members use it
HAP gives phone numbers for Southeast Michigan and West Michigan, and a Henry Ford Health contact by phone and email, for members who want to join. The page does not describe a session schedule.
What it covers or does not
The page describes coaching and habit building for prevention. It does not cover treatment of existing diabetes, which HAP addresses through Diabetes Care Connection. The page gives no cost statement.
Eligibility, funding and plan design.
Who can use it
The population health page states that Medicare Advantage members are eligible. It does not state that commercial or self-funded members are eligible. Employers should confirm for their group.
How it is funded or sold
The page gives no price or rider detail. Ask HAP whether any cost applies to the member or the employer.
Where it fits in plan design
It fits as a prevention step for employees with prediabetes risk, ahead of a condition program. It pairs with a screening or biometric effort if the employer already runs one.
What to settle before relying on it.
Is this program open to our members?
The page names Medicare Advantage. We would ask HAP to confirm in writing whether commercial and self-funded members can join.
Who delivers the coaching in our area?
HAP names the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan and Henry Ford Health. We would ask which one serves our employees and whether sessions are in person, virtual or both.
What does it cost the member?
The page is silent. We would ask HAP for a clear statement so employee communications do not promise something HAP will not honor.
