Help!
Can a physician bill for medical nutrition therapy under codes 97802. 97803 & 97804? or does it have to be a dietary specialist?

Also, does anyone have any experience billing for a physician doing group nutritional therapy?

Thanks! Liz

Nutrition Therapy

This service is provided by a licensed registered dietitian. Medicare coverage requires RD to have UPIN #.

Hope this helps.

Do you know if Medicaid will cover it from a Family Physician? or does it always have to be a dietician?

Thanks
