Medical Coding for Food Interventions
What better way to celebrate the latest iteration of the CMS ICD-10 codes (including the long awaited Z91.110 - Non-compliance with dietary regimen due to financial hardship) than with a Medical Coding for Food Interventions webinar? There is no better way. See the announcement below:

Local governments across the United States are looking at a myriad of ways to better integrate food-based supports such as produce prescriptions, medically tailored meals and food pharmacies into health care infrastructure. One important step towards full integration is the transformation of healthcare diagnosis, procedures, medical services and equipment into universal medical alphanumeric codes—also known as medical coding.
The National Produce Prescription Collaborative, Food is Medicine Coalition, and the California Medically Supportive Food and Nutrition Steering Committee are hosting a webinar to explore this complex subject, Friday, September 30th.
Anyone interested in integrating food-based interventions into health care should join us in listening to medical coding expert Sarah Desilvey, Director of Clinical Informatics at the Gravity Project, as she looks to demystify how to describe through medical codes the stories of patients that are often complex and nuanced.
Not sure what these codes are or why they are relevant? See this blog post on the topic from last year and this example of using SDOH codes in billing structures from 2020.
