Insurance Coverage for Outpatient Diabetes Education and Nutrition Counseling Services
While there is typically a fee charged to receive diabetes education and medical nutrition therapy (MNT) services at Barnes-Jewish West County Hospital, many health insurance plans cover this cost. Please note that at this time, Medicare will only cover nutrition counseling for diabetes and kidney disease. Medicare will not reimburse diabetes education and MNT if provided on the same day.
It is your responsibility to contact your insurance company regarding coverage or prior authorization for any outpatient diabetes and nutrition counseling services requested by your physician.
