The Spectrum of Nutrition: Medically Tailored Grocery (MTG) vs. Meals (MTM)

Choosing the right nutrition modality for different member risk profiles.

The direct answer

Risk-bearing organizations should deploy a "Hybrid Nutrition Strategy": Medically Tailored Meals (MTM) for short-term recovery post-discharge, transitioning to Medically Tailored Grocery (MTG) for long-term chronic management to drive habit formation.

The goal is outcomes. MTM is high-intensity for acute needs (zero prep, high cost). MTG is high-engagement for long-term needs (active prep, lower cost). We recommend the "Transition Bridge" to move members from "patients" to "health managers."
