SmashMeals Health

SmashMeals is a founder-run, 100% gluten-free prepared-meal kitchen in Kingsport, Tennessee, cooking since 2017. SmashMeals Health is how members, clinicians, and healthcare organizations work with us: check whether a health plan may offer meal benefits, refer a patient or client, explore a partnership or pilot, or review our capabilities. SmashMeals is direct-pay and is not in-network with, contracted by, or endorsed by any health plan, Medicare Advantage plan, Medicaid program, or managed-care organization.

Four ways to work with us

What SmashMeals is

Ready-to-heat meals cooked in a dedicated gluten-free facility — we do not bring wheat, barley, or rye into the building. Free pickup, $15 local Tri-Cities home delivery, and a $30 flat-rate FedEx Ground shipping option covering our 30-state area, including statewide Tennessee. A dedicated gluten-free facility is not an allergen-free facility, so check each meal's label for other allergens.

Condition-supportive and post-discharge meals

Meals are portioned with published nutrition information so care teams can match them to a plan of care — including post-discharge recovery, senior support, and strict gluten-free needs. We do not provide medical nutrition therapy or clinical oversight, and we do not claim measured clinical outcomes.

Health plan and program partnerships

We are interested in contracting conversations with Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid MCOs, and LTSS programs, and we will say plainly where we are exploring versus where something exists. We are not currently in-network with any payer.

Please note: SmashMeals is a direct-pay prepared-meal company. We are not in-network with, contracted by, or endorsed by any health plan, Medicare Advantage plan, Medicaid program, or managed-care organization, and we do not bill insurance or verify eligibility. Meal benefits, where they exist, depend on the individual plan, program, county, plan year, and authorization. Information on these pages is general education, not insurance, medical, or legal advice.
