Now Available: Revised tool to support your efforts to expand coverage of MNT services
Attention RDs! The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is thrilled to announce the latest edition of its third-party payer brochure. With an updated look, new cost-effectiveness information and outcomes data, this timely resource is essential to your advocacy efforts.
This easy to read brochure has been used extensively as an advocacy tool by registered dietitians to initiate referrals and to expand insurance coverage for MNT services. The brochure can be used in meetings with private payers, government officials, physicians and other key decision makers to send a strong message on the value and expertise of the registered dietitian.
Academy members can download the brochure for free at www.eatright.org/coverage (click on Expanding Coverage).
