Currently I can provide Medical Nutrition Therapy in the state of California.
California law mandates that Registered Dietitians must secure a referral from a licensed healthcare provider (MD/DO/PA/NP) before providing Medical Nutrition Therapy. Providers have the option to utilize their own referral form, or you can download my nutrition referral form here and submit it to your healthcare provider. Please ONLY upload the completed referral form to your HIPAA compliant Client Portal.
An appointment is often not necessary to obtain a referral; simply contact your provider via email, phone, or secure message portal. In the absence of an official diagnosis, providers can use ICD-10 code Z71.3 for dietary counseling and surveillance on the referral form. Should you have any inquiries, please don't hesitate to reach out via email at rachel@telehealthcollective.com.
