Bill overview
This bill, the Medical Nutrition Therapy Act of 2026, aims to expand Medicare coverage for medical nutrition therapy services. Currently, these services are limited to individuals with diabetes or kidney disease, but this legislation would extend coverage to those with a wider range of conditions, including obesity, eating disorders, cancer, and HIV/AIDS. It allows for referrals from various healthcare professionals, such as nurse practitioners and clinical psychologists, broadening access to these vital services. The goal is to improve the prevention, management, and treatment of chronic illnesses through tailored nutritional plans.
