Medical Nutrition Therapy Act of 2025

This bill would expand Medicare Part B coverage to include medical nutrition therapy for beneficiaries with a wider range of chronic conditions beyond current limits (diabetes and kidney disease). It specifically adds conditions like obesity, hypertension, eating disorders, cancer, gastrointestinal diseases, and HIV to the list of covered illnesses, allowing coverage for prevention, management, or treatment. The bill also allows more healthcare providers - including dietitians, nurse practitioners, and clinical psychologists - to deliver these services. This change would directly affect millions of Medicare beneficiaries managing these conditions who previously lacked coverage for medically necessary nutrition therapy.
