Q&A: GLIM as malnutrition criteria
Source: ACDIS

Q: My organization has received three denials for the diagnosis of severe calorie malnutrition based on the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria. All three denials came from the same small insurance company. We don’t use GLIM criteria at our organization currently. Should we switch criteria sets to match what payers are using to validate claims?
