Medicare covers Medical Nutrition Therapy for beneficiaries with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes — and Functional Nutrition Rx is here to provide that care with the depth and personalization it deserves. Our registered dietitian nutritionists work specifically with Medicare patients managing CKD and diabetes to develop individualized nutrition plans that address the unique demands of these conditions and support long-term health outcomes.
We offer in-person appointments on Long Island, New York and telehealth sessions across multiple states — making access to specialized Medicare nutrition care straightforward and convenient.
Medicare covers Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) specifically for chronic kidney disease and diabetes. Coverage does not extend to other nutrition counseling services under Medicare. In some instances secondary insurances may cover our services.
Medicare-covered nutrition counseling for chronic kidney disease and diabetes
Managing CKD or diabetes through nutrition requires a level of precision and individualization that general dietary advice simply doesn’t provide. Our registered dietitian nutritionists bring specialized clinical expertise to every session — building nutrition strategies that account for your lab values, disease progression, medications, comorbidities, and lifestyle.
This is the kind of care Medicare’s Medical Nutrition Therapy benefit was designed to support — and we take that responsibility seriously.
Conditions we provide Medicare-covered MNT for:
- Chronic kidney disease (non-dialysis)
- Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes
What to expect from Medicare nutrition counseling at Functional Nutrition Rx
Working with a Medicare dietitian at Functional Nutrition Rx means receiving the same standard of individualized, evidence-based care that every client in our practice receives, tailored specifically to the clinical demands of CKD and diabetes management.
We review your full health picture — current labs, medications, medical history, dietary habits, and lifestyle — and build a nutrition plan that supports your treatment goals and works within your real daily life. No overwhelming restrictions. No one-size-fits-all guidance. Just practical, clinically sound nutrition care that meets you where you are.
