Virginia Medicaid MNT coverage: codes and telehealth
The short answerVirginia's DMAS Telehealth Services Supplement (5/13/2024) lists 97802 and 97803 as telemedicine-eligible, under education for diabetes, smoking and diet. It sets telehealth place of service and the GT modifier. We found no official page saying which dietitians may enroll or bill.
