process on how to become credentialed with an insurance company, please see the

Billing Resource Guide at the following link:

http://www.eatright.org/members/billguide11/. This resource is currently only

the RD?

covered at 100%.

The RD should use the MNT codes: 97802 for an initial visit and 97803 for

follow-up visits.

Is there a restriction on the length of the visits?

RDs should care for patients using ADA’s evidence based guidelines for each

specific diagnosis and will be reimbursed for standard initial and follow-up

visits, typically up to 6 units per visit. Find the Evidence Analysis Library

at: http://www.adaevidencelibrary.com/default.cfm?auth=1.

How will the ParkOhio employees find an RD in their area?

First, become a provider for the respective insurance carriers listed above

(Medical Mutual of Ohio or Anthem). Secondly, once you have become credentialed,

you can contact Amy , (Health Management Consultant) at

acox@... . She will be compiling a list of RDs who have become

credentialed with their insurers. She will share these lists with the employees

located in the various ParkOhio locations.

provide “rack cardsâ€, a dual sided brochure sized informational card that

highlights the type of care a patient/employee can receive and expect from a

visit with an RD
