Expands Medicare coverage to include medical nutrition therapy services for a broader range of chronic conditions.
The Medical Nutrition Therapy Act of 2026 aims to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to expand the availability of medical nutrition therapy services under the Medicare program. The bill identifies specific diseases and conditions for which these services are deemed medically necessary, including diabetes, prediabetes, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, malnutrition, eating disorders, cancer, gastrointestinal diseases, HIV, AIDS, and cardiovascular disease.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
