Once the patient is connected to a dietitian at the PCN, you will receive progress updates back periodically as well as a discharge update upon completion of the service. If your referral does not meet our criteria, we will send communication back to your office to notify you that the referral has been declined and provide suggestions for alternative nutrition supports. 

Please discuss and inform your patient of their referral to see a dietitian at PCN and why the referral is being made. It is helpful to include a readiness screen with your patient to assess their conviction and confidence in making dietary changes.

Is there a cost for dietitian services?
No. There is no cost to the patient to access a dietitian at the PCN.

Will you provide my patient with a meal plan?
No. Although we may work with a patient to provide specific macronutrient and/or micronutrient targets and teach a patient how to create their own meal plan, we do not supply generic meal plans.
