When left untreated, #eatingdisorders in the Medicare population can lead to heart failure, kidney failure, osteoporosis, Type II diabetes, stroke, gastric rupture, hypoglycemia, and more.
SOLUTION: The #NutritionCAREAct allows individuals affected by eating disorders on Medicare Part B to receive the existing Medical Nutrition Therapy benefits equal to other medical conditions.
The bill includes provisions that give the Secretary the ability to authorize higher amounts of coverage as well as place cost-control measures as needed within the
Medicare program – in addition to the savings already created by treating at the outpatient level.
