Medical Nutrition Therapy is the process of collaborating one-on-one with a dietitian/nutritionist to work toward a nutrition and lifestyle plan to address nutrition-related concerns. Medical Nutrition Therapy uses evidence-based recommendations to support the development of a nutrition and self-care plan. It is often partially covered by insurance via the use of a Superbill that is submitted to insurance after an appointment. Joanna provides Superbills after all appointments in the states below:
