Practice tools built around nutrition and dietetics

Credentials, scope, and MNT benefits

Use nutrition-specific resources to organize your credential, state requirements, medical nutrition therapy service, and payer questions. The source maps and verification worksheets help keep provider eligibility, member benefits, referrals, and enrollment separate in your working plan.

Referral-to-reassessment workflows

Plan how a referral becomes an initial visit, follow-up, and reassessment. Specialty audit and practice worksheets connect the service model with documentation, communication, capacity, and the questions your team needs to resolve before offering a program.

Nutrition group programs

The Nutrition Group Program Builder helps organize a program's audience, structure, operations, and follow-up. Use it alongside growth planning and patient education to make the program understandable for both the practice and the people joining it.
