NPPC and the Center for Health Law and Policy Innovation released State Policy Options: leveraging Produce Prescriptions (PRx) to Treat and Prevent Diet-Related Illness

Why Produce Prescriptions?

A Produce Prescription is a medical treatment or preventive service for patients who are eligible due to (1) diet-related health risk or condition, (2) food insecurity or other documented challenges in access to nutritious foods, and (3) referral by a healthcare provider or health insurance plan. These prescriptions are fulfilled through food retail and enable patients to access healthy fruits and vegetables with no added fats, sugars, or salt, at low or no cost to the patient.
