Biden-Harris Administration Announces $1.7 Billion in Pledges to End Hunger www.whitehouse.gov/...

The Challenge was a nationwide call-to-action to end hunger and reduce diet-related diseases by 2030—all while reducing health disparities. The $1.7 billion in new commitments announced today build on the $8 billion in commitments announced in September 2022—and complements the Biden-Harris Administration’s National Strategy on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health.
- HHS approved new ground-breaking Medicaid section 1115 demonstration initiatives in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Oregon, and Washington to test coverage of services such as evidence-based nutritional assistance, medically tailored meals, other health-related social needs for individuals with Medicaid; and
- HHS issued the physician fee schedule rule that finalizes codes and additional payment for Social Determinants of Health risk assessments, allows diabetes self-management training to be conducted via telehealth, and allows registered dieticians to bill for diabetes self-management training.
