Medical Nutrition Therapy Act of 2025

Changes to Medicare nutrition therapy

This bill would expand Medicare Part B coverage for medical nutrition therapy to many listed conditions, like diabetes, obesity, cancer, and eating disorders. It would let physician assistants, nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, and doctors provide MNT, and allow clinical psychologists to provide MNT for eating disorders. However, MNT for a renal disease would not be payable under Part B if the person is receiving maintenance dialysis paid under section 1881. If enacted, these changes would apply to services in years beginning two years after enactment.
