Aetna Medicare Advantage · Kidney Disease

Kidney Disease dietitian covered by Aetna Medicare Advantage

Kidney diets are among the most confusing to follow alone: protein, sodium, potassium and phosphorus all matter, and the targets change with each stage. Our dietitians, including those with dialysis experience, make it manageable.

Yes. Nutrition Solutions for Me is in-network with Aetna Medicare Advantage, and our registered dietitians help with chronic kidney disease. Medicare Advantage plans cover medical nutrition therapy for diabetes and kidney disease, and many plans cover nutrition visits for more conditions.
