About G0271: Group nutrition therapy reassessment
Reports 30-minute group medical nutrition therapy reassessment after a second referral in the same year for a changed diagnosis, condition, or treatment regimen.
G0271 represents medical nutrition therapy reassessment and follow-up intervention delivered to a group of at least two individuals, in 30-minute units. A registered dietitian or other Medicare-qualified nutrition professional may use it for beneficiaries referred again in the same year because their diagnosis, medical condition, or treatment regimen changed. The code also covers additional renal-disease MNT hours when they follow that second referral. Examples of relevant care include nutrition counseling after a change in diabetes management or a change in a renal patient’s treatment plan.
Select G0271 for the qualifying group reassessment, rather than the code for initial group MNT. The record should support the second referral and its reason, the nutrition reassessment and interventions provided, the group format, and the time attributable to the service. Report units according to the documented 30-minute service increments. CMS assigns physician fee schedule relative values to the service; the supplied CMS rules identify no additional payment adjustment for this code.
