With the latest news and mandates on the COVID-19 pandemic, most dietitians and other treatment providers moved their counseling practices and intensive outpatient programs to telehealth formats to continue to provide care for their patients. This presentation will provide information on how to get started with telehealth and how to deliver quality nutrition counseling virtually. Practical guidance on consent, malpractice protection, weight checks, meal support, coached meals, and nutrition assessment will be outlined. US-specific issues of licensure and billing 33rd party payers will be discussed. The presenters will share relevant online resources and handouts.
