ModifyHealth Expands Network Coverage for Virtual Dietitian Services Nationwide

In a significant move to enhance access to nutritional support across the United States, ModifyHealth, a pioneering food-as-medicine platform, has announced an expansion of its in-network partnerships with major insurers. This expansion enables ModifyHealth to provide insurance-covered virtual dietitian services to millions of Americans, thereby solidifying its position as a leader in wellness and chronic disease management.

Expanding Accessibility to Nutrition Care

ModifyHealth has long offered personalized dietitian support along with its renowned condition-specific meals designed to address various health issues. With the latest expansion, people across the country will enjoy access to registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs), all covered by prominent insurers like Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and Medicare. This effort aims to tackle one of the most daunting barriers many patients face: high out-of-pocket costs associated with nutrition care.

According to GB Pratt, the CEO of ModifyHealth, this development underscores the company's commitment to making dietitian support more accessible to millions of Americans. He asserts, "Dietitian support has always been core to our mission, but now it's accessible to millions more Americans through expanded insurance coverage. This puts us in a unique position of combining condition-specific meals and expert clinical care at scale to truly transform how the U.S. manages chronic disease."

Addressing the Gap in Chronic Disease Care

Currently, diet-related factors influence nearly half of all chronic conditions, yet less than 10% of eligible patients receive Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT). With the new in-network coverage, ModifyHealth aims to bridge this alarming gap. The company's dietitians specialize in helping manage chronic conditions including diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and gastrointestinal disorders such as IBS. More than 95% of patients enrolled in the network can access care without any co-payment or co-insurance, allowing them to receive personalized nutrition counseling from the comfort of their homes.

A Comprehensive Food-as-Medicine Solution

ModifyHealth is not just about consulting; it also provides home-delivered, clinically designed meals that cater to the specific needs of patients. This combination signifies one of the most effective and scalable food-as-medicine platforms in the U.S. The comprehensive approach targets various health conditions, aiming for improved outcomes through expertly tailored nutrition.

"ModifyHealth Nutrition represents the future of chronic care - affordable, accessible, and proven," notes Madison Reeder, RD, VP of Clinical Operations. This statement reflects the company's ongoing goal to empower more patients to adopt healthier lifestyle changes by leveraging the transformative properties of food.
