Intensive Behavioral Therapy for Obesity: Putting It into Practice
This toolkit provides RDNs with the information, examples and tools necessary to successfully align with PCPs to provide the IBT for Obesity benefit under Medicare Part B.
The Intensive Behavioral Therapy for Obesity benefit for Medicare Part B beneficiaries offers an exciting opportunity for the registered dietitian nutritionist to demonstrate value by becoming part of the primary care provider's team.
This toolkit provides the RDN with the information, examples and tools needed to successfully align with a PCP office and initiate the IBT for Obesity benefit. RDNs may also find this resource useful beyond the Medicare population, as more private payers are expanding obesity counseling benefits under provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
This updated toolkit now contains real-life examples of how early adopter RDNs implemented IBT at their sites, as well as a wealth of forms, spreadsheets, marketing pieces, reimbursement know-how and curricula used by these early adopter RDNs.
Contents include:
Understanding the basics of the IBT benefit
Case studies and advice from RDNs who are successfully providing IBT for obesity services
Toolbox of resources to start IBT for obesity at your site
