Nutrition and Diet Counseling
Medical nutritional counseling required in the administration and maintenance of covered medically necessary foods, to include low protein foods, may be covered when medically necessary and appropriate. All other types of medical nutritional and diet counseling are only covered when provided as part of a primary care office visit or under diabetes outpatient self-management training. Nutrition and diet counseling cannot be billed separately when provided as part of a primary care office visit.
