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.
