1. Make sure you qualify (check the list above)
2. For medically tailored meals only: Schedule a visit with your primary care provider (PCP) and ask for a referral to a registered dietitian
• If you already have an assessment from the last 30 days, you do not need to schedule a visit with your PCP to get an assessment.
• If your provider asks for a template to fill out for your assessment, you can print out and bring this blank form for them to fill out. [insert nutrition assessment form PDF]
