Deliver Integrated Care: Add a Dietitian and bill through Zaya

Modified on Mon, 16 Jun at 2:52 PM

You can now bring a Registered Dietitian (RDN) onto your team and bill through Zaya. Set up includes credentialing and takes as little as 3-4 weeks.


Together, we help patients recover faster, move better, and feel stronger.

Relevant Patient Use Cases

Many patients you already treat can benefit from nutrition counseling:

  • Post-Surgical Patients

  • Chronic Pain & Inflammatory Conditions

  • Seniors & Fall Risk Clients

  • Athletes in Recovery or Performance Training

  • Weight Loss or Mobility-Limited Clients

  • Obesity with musculoskeletal impact

  • Plantar fasciitis in overweight patients

  • Recurrent injuries or poor healing (where nutrition affects tissue recovery)

  • Fall risk in older adults (where malnutrition or sarcopenia is a factor)

  • General deconditioning in patients with high BMI

Which Zaya Payers

What Can Be Billed?

  • Simple coding. Most of Dietitian’s services correspond to the two codes

    • 97803 - Medical Nutrition Therapy,  Follow-up session, 15 min

  • Covered conditions include: Diabetes, Obesity, Chronic Kidney Disease, GI & Digestive Disorders

  • The Dietitian needs to be a licensed Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RD/RDN)

  • No physician referral required

How It Works

  1. Partner with a Dietitian: you set your own agreement - employed or 1099

  2. Let Zaya’s credentialing team know you’d like to credential them

  3. We handle the credentialing; takes 2 - 4 weeks

  4. You start billing for the Dietitian services through Zaya and get paid. Everything shows up in your portal like usual.

If you’d like help in finding a Dietitian partner, Zaya can connect you with a virtual Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) from our existing network.
