MO HB3330

Licensed health care providers (physicians, advanced practice registered nurses, physician assistants, dietitians) may issue nutrition prescriptions for diet-sensitive conditions including diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease

Eligible foods are limited to whole, unprocessed fruits and vegetables grown or produced in Missouri

Nonprofit programs approved by the Department of Health and Senior Services may fulfill nutrition prescriptions, including hospital food-as-medicine programs, food banks, foundations, local health nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and direct partnerships with eligible producers

Participation is voluntary for all parties, and receiving a nutrition prescription does not affect a patient's eligibility for SNAP or WIC benefits

The Department of Health and Senior Services must promulgate rules establishing eligibility standards for foods and participation standards for producers and nonprofits, with rules adopted after August 28, 2026 subject to legislative review
