Diabetes Empowerment Education Program (DEEP) Classes at Ampla Health

DEEP is a licensed diabetes self-management education (DSME) curriculum developed by the University of Illinois, Chicago, and is evidence based.

DEEP classes:

  • Provide communities with tools to teach those with Diabetes or Pre-Diabetes, the importance of making changes in behavior and choices that lead to healthier lifestyles
  • Uses principles of empowerment for adult education
  • Has 6 Modules
  • Each Module is a weekly 2 – 2 ½ hour class
  • Classes are for 6 consecutive weeks

DEEP and Medicare?  Everyone With Diabetes Counts (EDC) is a Medicare funded initiative that was re-launched on September 28, 2012 to help this population effectively self-manage their diabetes by learning about nutrition, exercise, self-monitoring, diabetes medications and community resources and support, among other important topics.

  • There is no cost to eligible beneficiaries to participate in the program
  • Medicare patients are preferred due to funding related expense, however, all Ampla Health patients with Diabetes or Pre-Diabetes are welcome
  • Ampla patients will require a Referral from their MD, prior to registering for the classes
  • At the end of each class, Weekly Action Plans are highly encouraged, with class members verbalizing their Action Plan, then follow up discussion on how those Action Plans were met or not met, at the next class
  • At the completion of the 6 Modules, “Graduates” will receive a “Certificate of Completion” which for some insurance carriers will be evidence, the patient has had diabetes education
** Ampla Health accepts most insurance plans including Medi-Cal Managed Care options, California Health and Wellness and Anthem Blue Cross Partnership Plans, Medicare, and private pay. **
