Thompson's MNT program provides in-person and telemedicine outpatient visits to those with diabetes and chronic renal failure.

Individuals with diabetes and chronic renal failure may be referred by their Primary Care Provider (PCP) for a medical nutrition therapy consultation.

  • One year after diagnosis, Medicare and most insurances will cover 2 hours per year for follow-up visits.
