How Do I Bill
for Nutrition Services for Children on Medicaid
Winter 2002
Screening centers, physicians, local
education agencies, and Early Access (infant and toddler) programs can bill
for nutrition counseling that is beyond the scope of normal WIC services. This
includes services for children too old for WIC, and for younger children with
medical diagnoses that require medical nutrition therapy. If your agency does
not employ a licensed dietitian, you can contract for these services.
All WIC agencies employ at least
one licensed dietitian, and some of these agencies are willing to contract for
the provision of nutrition counseling. Refer to your manual for referral and
billing information. Call 1-800-532-1579 to find a WIC agency near you.
