FAQ: Why do I need a referral to Nutrition Care?
Patients are asked to request a referral through their Primary Care Manager and/or Medical Specialist due to the relationship between medical nutrition therapy and certain medical conditions. It is necessary for Physician(s) and/or Provider(s) to be aware of dietary interventions due to the possible impact of these modifications, and/or weight loss, on the effects of some medications. Sometimes medications must be modified to reflect dietary changes and/or weight loss.
