Finding a dietitian with Medicare
You can use the Medicare provider search to identify dietitians in your area who accept your Medicare health insurance plan. To be easily connected with a top-rate Medicare dietitian, consider Nourish. We accept Medicare insurance and have a network of highly qualified nutrition professionals who will work with you virtually to meet your health goals.
There are some restrictions on what Medicare covers regarding nutrition care. Medicare Part B only covers dietitian services for individuals who have diabetes or kidney disease with a referral from a physician. Medicare also covers nutrition therapy for post-kidney transplant patients within three years of receiving the transplant.
In addition, the visit must be conducted by a registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN). Nutrition counseling conducted by a dietitian is known as medical nutrition therapy (MNT).
Covered services include the initial nutrition consultation as well as follow-up visits in both individual and group settings. Medicare covers up to three hours of nutrition counseling in the first year of establishing care with a dietitian. Up to two hours per year are covered in the following years. You may qualify for additional hours if your doctor requests an exception due to a change in your condition.
Video visit coverage with Medicare
Historically, Medicare only covered video visits, or telemedicine, for patients who lived in rural areas without easy access to certain in-person healthcare services. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, some temporary changes to this policy have been made.
Currently, and through the end of 2024, Medicare covers virtual dietitian visits for patients with diabetes or kidney disease. The appointments may be conducted through a secure video system or by phone. While the previous policy required the patient to be present at a local rural clinic to complete their video call, they can now be completed at the person’s home.
It is still being determined how the policy will change after 2024, making it important to verify your benefits before seeking virtual care. Telehealth benefits also vary by which Medicare plan you have. Medicare Advantage Plans typically provide more coverage for video visits than Original Medicare.
Understanding your options with Medicare
If you have diabetes or kidney disease, Medicare will cover your online dietitian appointment at 100% since it is considered a preventative service. This coverage is the same for in-person and virtual dietitian visits at this time, though it is subject to change after 2024. If you’re seeking nutrition therapy and don’t have one of these diagnoses, you have a couple of options.
Some people have a secondary insurance plan in addition to Medicare, and these plans tend to cover a broader range of diagnoses for nutrition services. If you don’t have insurance coverage for medical nutrition therapy through Medicare, you may be able to get it through your secondary insurance.
If you are paying for your dietitian appointment out-of-pocket, the cost will vary depending on your location and the provider's credentials. On average, you can expect to pay between $100 and $200 for an initial consultation with a dietitian. Fees may be greater if you live in a high-cost-of-living area.
With Nourish, we work with you to maximize your insurance coverage, with most of our patients paying $0 out-of-pocket. If you have a diagnosis other than diabetes or kidney disease, a video visit with your dietitian costs just $145, regardless of your location.
