- Billing for individual vs. group nutrition counseling sessions.
- Expanding MNT coverage to other conditions beyond diabetes and renal disease.
- Certified nutrition coders with deep expertise in MNT coding and payer requirements.
- Precise coding for MNT services using G-codes (G0270, G0271) for Medicare and CPT codes (97802-97804) for commercial payers.
- Expertise in navigating Medicare's MNT benefit, including covered diagnoses and referral requirements.
- Meticulous documentation review to support medical necessity for counseling.
