Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) involves personalized nutrition counseling by a registered dietitian to support your health goals. Your primary care provider may refer you to a dietitian to help develop a tailored food plan. Many insurance policies, including Medicare, cover MNT when recommended by a healthcare provider, especially for conditions like diabetes or kidney disease.
