Yes. CMS has stipulated that MNT be provided in accordance with “national accepted dietary or nutritional protocols for diabetes (type 1, type 2 and gestational) and non-dialysis kidney disease.” American Dietetic Association has published several protocols as American Dietetic Association Medical Nutrition Therapy Evidence Based Guides for Practice. The protocols currently available for purchase from American Dietetic Association as CD- ROMs. The following are now available: Diabetes Type 1 and Type 2, Gestational Diabetes, and chronic kidney disease, non-dialysis. Practitioners can purchase available CD-ROMs by calling American Dietetic Association’s Member Service Center at 800-877-1600 ext. 5000 or visiting American Dietetic Association’s online catalog at www.eatright.com/catalog/. American Dietetic Association member price: $15.00 and non-member price: $25.00.
