Our RDs are Medicare*\/Medicaid providers. Coverage of Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) visits under private insurers varies and necessitates the beneficiary to check\/acquire information with their provider regarding coverage. If applicable, out-of-pocket cost for MNT at MCHD is set at a fixed, affordable rate for any\/all individuals wishing to see one of our RDs. Feel free to contact us at 270-527-1496 to acquire information about the cost of MNT and\/or to schedule an appointment.<\/p>

*MNT for Medicare beneficiaries (under Part B) currently covers for Gestational Diabetes, Type 1 Diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes, and\/or non-dialysis kidney disease. Coverage necessitates the beneficiary to provide a Doctor’s order dated on or before the date of the MNT service at the MCHD. Failure to present\/provide a Doctor’s order will NOT disallow individuals to receive services, (NOTE: DR. MUST SIGN; ANY\/ALL OTHER HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SIGNATURES ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY MEDICARE) but will result in payment of services defaulting to the beneficiary (client) receiving the service if a doctor’s order is not provided. It is the responsibility of the individual to provide a written doctor’s order.<\/p>
