Nutrition billing support for your independent practice.
Sunshyn supports independent dietitians and nutrition practices with payer enrollment, MNT billing, claim submission, payment posting, and billing follow-up. Keep your own payer contracts and choose credentialing, billing support, or both.
Nutrition-focused support built around your practice.
Provider eligibility, payer enrollment, MNT documentation, referral requirements, and billing rules vary by credential, state, payer, and service.
Build your practice’s payer relationships.
Payer planning
Review target payers, participation requirements, and coverage rules for nutrition services and MNT.
Individual and group enrollment
Identify applications and enrollment records needed for your dietitians and nutrition practice.
Application preparation
Organize credentials, licenses, practice information, and MNT documentation for submission.
Application follow-up
Track progress and outstanding payer requests.
Practice updates
Support enrollment changes involving dietitians, locations, tax information, and practice details.
Your payer contracts remain with your practice. Approval and effective dates depend on the payer.
Support for the work that follows each nutrition visit.
Responsibilities are defined in the selected billing service agreement.
The details behind each nutrition visit matter.
A covered nutrition benefit does not establish coverage for every MNT service. The patient’s benefits, provider eligibility, referrals, documentation, and payer requirements all matter.
Your practice stays yours.
