MassHealth Flexible Services BeHealthy ACO
Nutrition Rx Program

Revitalize Community Development Corp. and the BeHealthy Partnership Accountable Care Organization are teaming up again, this time to tackle the issue of diabetes, childhood obesity, and food insecurity.

 

The Nutrition Rx Program provides services aimed to improve health outcomes for patients with uncontrolled diabetes and food insecurity. The program will serve almost 500 patients annually through the BeHealthy Partnership in 5 cycles of 10 weeks each.

 

• Patients must meet specific criteria of the MassHealth Flexible Services program, which is not a covered service and only available to a limited number of eligible members.

• Each participant receives a cooking appliance of their choice (microwave, slow cooker, or induction cooktop), kitchen supply bag, diet education, and 10 weeks of home-delivered nutritious groceries. 

• The weekly groceries are specially curated for people with diabetes by registered dietitians and are delivered to the client’s doorstep.

• The groceries are culturally tailored and feature foods that promote a carbohydrate controlled therapeutic diet.
