Medicare Coverage

Medicare currently provides coverage for Medical Nutrition Therapy with a Registered Dietitian for the following diagnoses:
  • Diabetes (Type 1, Type 2 or Gestational)
  • Chronic Kidney Disease (Stage III or IV)
  • Renal Transplant (up to 3 years after transplant)
Medicare also currently covers an annual wellness visit and counseling for obesity and lipid disorders (such as high cholesterol or triglycerides) for patients whom have been covered by Medicare for at least one year. These services must be provided through the primary care physician (PCP) office. We provide RDs to conduct these important health counseling appointments on-site at the primary care office and at the convenience of the patient and clinic.
Medicare Advantage plans may cover additional services, depending on the plan.
