Summary
EmblemHealth now covers medical nutrition therapy (MNT) services for Medicaid children/youth in Voluntary Foster Care Agencies when provided by qualified dietitians at 29-I health facilities. Claims can be submitted retroactively from July 1, 2022, but only during the September 24 to October 24, 2023 submission window.
Action Required
This policy's submission window has closed (October 24, 2023). No current action required unless your practice provides MNT services to Medicaid foster care youth - in that case, verify current billing procedures for future claims and check if any eligible claims were missed during the retroactive submission period.
