Idaho Medicaid MNT coverage: codes and limits
The short answerIdaho's October to December 2026 Medicaid fee schedule does not list 97802 or 97803. It lists G0270 at $26.14 and S9470 (nutritional counseling, dietitian visit) at $25.58, neither with prior authorization always required. A listed code means covered when all requirements are met, so S9470 appears to be the dietitian visit code to check with Idaho Medicaid.
