Urge Congress to Expand Access to MNT in Medicare

The importance of strong nutrition has been in the spotlight over the past year, with COVID-19 patients experiencing poorer health outcomes if they had obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, or many other chronic conditions. Long-standing health disparities have then led to many racial and ethnic minority populations being disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Expanding access to medical nutrition therapy is one part of the solution - and the swift passage of the Medical Nutrition Therapy Act is essential.

Introduced earlier this week by U.S. Sens. Susan Collins (Maine) and Gary Peters (Mich.) and U.S. Reps. Robin Kelly (Ill.) and Fred Upton (Mich.), the Medical Nutrition Therapy Act would expand Medicare Part B coverage for MNT services beyond diabetes and kidney disease to also include:
✔️Cancer
✔️Cardiovascular disease
✔️Dyslipidemia
✔️Eating disorders
✔️Gastrointestinal diseases including celiac disease
✔️HIV/AIDS
✔️Hypertension
✔️Malnutrition
✔️Obesity
✔️Prediabetes
✔️Unintentional weight loss

Passage of this bill would be a win-win for our profession and our communities. Congress needs to hear from Academy members on this important issue – take action today! https://www.eatrightpro.org/advocacy/take-action/action-center
