Medicare Coverage of Medically-Tailored Meals

Medicare Coverage of Medically-Tailored Meals

Integrate nutrition therapy into Medicare for chronically ill beneficiaries.

What’s Broken

Despite evidence, most insurance doesn’t cover food—even when it saves lives and money.

The Fix

Federal pilot program for Medical Nutrition Therapy and Medically Tailored Meals in Medicare.
