    Would you like information on quick fix diets? Click HERE to read the Academy's stance on quick fix diets.


    WE NEED YOUR HELP:

     

    Since the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) decision was published, the Academy has diligently reiterated the need for expanded coverage and reimbursement of medical nutrition therapy (MNT). Part of our advocacy efforts included a petition to the White House through the “We the People” process, asking the Obama administration to have CMS reconsider its decision which limits direct billing of intensive behavioral counseling for obesity to primary care providers.

     

    The Academy is asking members to take action. 

    ·         First, stay informed and know the facts. To learn more, visit http://www.eatright.org/Members/content.aspx?id=6442466998.

     

    ·         Next, if you haven’t communicated with your members of Congress, please reach out today and ask them to stand up for the effectiveness of registered dietitians. Take action now! It takes just a few minutes to do and it does make a difference, visit http://www.eatright.org/members/actioncenter.aspx.

     

    ·         Watch for updates in Eat Right Weekly and stay connected with your affiliate and DPG policy leaders.
