Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 97803 covers

A registered dietitian or other qualified nutrition professional uses this service for an individual follow-up after the initial nutrition assessment. The visit may reassess dietary intake, progress toward nutrition goals, or changes in a condition affecting nutrition, then provide tailored counseling or revise the nutrition plan. It is commonly furnished in an outpatient office, although the code identifies the service rather than a particular setting.

Report 97803 for subsequent individual medical nutrition therapy, counting each 15 minutes of service with the patient. The record should support the follow-up nature of the visit, the nutrition issues reassessed, the intervention provided, and the time spent. Do not use it for the initial individual assessment or for nutrition therapy delivered to a group. CMS assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice relative value units; the practice-expense values differ between office and facility settings.
