TKC Clinical Billing for Teaching Kitchen Services

Build a stronger foundation for sustainable teaching kitchen programming with Clinical Billing for Teaching Kitchen Services: A practical resource for teaching kitchen programs exploring clinical reimbursement pathways. Developed by the Teaching Kitchen Collaborative’s Nutrition Committee, this guide helps registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs), clinicians, and program leaders navigate the complexities of clinical reimbursement—from billing requirements and documentation to diagnosis codes, procedure codes, and common barriers. Learn from real-world examples of teaching kitchens integrated into clinical care, explore potential reimbursement pathways, and identify alternative funding options when services are not billable. Whether you’re launching a program or strengthening an existing one, this resource helps you ask the right questions, engage key partners, and make more informed decisions about your program’s financial sustainability.

Your purchase also includes the recorded webinar, Cracking the Code: Advancing RDN Billing from Clinics to Kitchens, bringing these considerations to life through UW Health’s experience transforming outpatient dietitian billing into a reimbursable, scalable clinical service. Kelley Wilson, RDN, shares practical lessons on addressing compliance challenges, removing facility fees, aligning diagnoses with reimbursable codes, and securing organizational support. Livleen Gill, MBA, RDN, LDN, FAND, past president of the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, adds national insight into efforts to overcome payment barriers and expand reimbursement opportunities for nutrition services.

The webinar is approved for 1 CPEU for RDs/DTRs, including those who watch the recording.
