Nutrition services

About 97802: Initial individual nutrition therapy assessment

Reports an initial, face-to-face individual nutrition assessment and intervention, provided by a qualified nutrition professional and counted in 15-minute units.

An initial individual MNT service combines nutrition assessment with tailored intervention: the practitioner evaluates relevant dietary patterns and nutrition needs, then develops or begins a plan with the patient. Registered dietitians and other qualified nutrition professionals commonly provide it in outpatient offices, clinics, or other settings where the patient receives face-to-face counseling. Common referrals involve nutrition management for diabetes, kidney disease, or other conditions affected by diet; the diagnosis and practitioner’s scope determine the clinical focus.

Choose 97802 for the initial assessment-and-intervention service, rather than later individual reassessment and intervention (97803) or group counseling (97804). Report the documented face-to-face service in 15-minute units. The note should identify the nutrition assessment, individualized plan or counseling delivered, patient participation, and time. CMS assigns separate office and facility practice-expense values in the Physician Fee Schedule, so use the setting that matches where the service was furnished.
