Ordering Food With ModifyHealth

Edited

We are leveraging a strategic partnership with ModifyHealth to expand our food-as-medicine program. Through this collaboration, individuals across the country can now order medically tailored meals directly through the Nourish patient app and portal, helping to overcome both geographical and financial barriers to food security. These meals are expertly designed to meet specific dietary needs, helping people manage chronic conditions and improve overall health.

Ordering Modify Meals

Patients can easily place orders for ModifyHealth meals directly in the app or patient portal. While these meals are currently out of pocket, we will soon accept SNAP and WIC benefits for these medically tailored meals, targeting both geographical and financial barriers to access. Additionally, we're kicking off work with health plans — including Medicaid plans — to subsidize the cost of these meals and ensure that patients can receive the nutritious meals they need without financial strain.

To order, patients should:

  1. Navigate to the Food section of the app or patient portal

  2. Choose between 6 and 28 pre-packaged meals that fit their nutritional plan

    • Patients have the option to filter for specific meal plan types or dietary restrictions

  3. Checkout by selecting their cart, "Go to Checkout," entering their delivery location and credit card information, and selecting "Place Order"

    • All meals ordered by Saturday at 11:59pm ET will be delivered by the following Friday

Using Modify with your Patients

We highly recommend leveraging ModifyHealth in your conversations with patients. Modify meals through Nourish are at a significant discount from the price on Modify's website at $9.95 per meal. These meals are specifically selected to meet specific nutrition requirements, and can be delivered right to the patient's door.
