Description
The agency is amending existing rules related to diabetes education. The agency is proposing to move the current diabetes education rule out of chapter 182-550 WAC and into a new chapter 182-564 because the diabetes education program is not restricted to outpatient hospitals. The agency is updating curriculum requirements to align them with Washington State Department of Health requirements for this program. The agency is also removing outdated billing requirements.
