AFFORDABLE NUTRITION COUNSELING
Because of the Affordable Care Act, insurance carriers now cover nutrition care. Millions of Americans who are at risk for, or suffering from, chronic disease now have access to affordable nutrition counseling.
We are in-network with most insurance plans. Keep in mind that not all plans are equal since nutrition is a specialty. Your plan may not cover nutrition counseling or medical nutrition therapy; moreover, the amount that you owe will depend on the specific health insurance plan you have.
If you have any questions, call the number on your insurance card to learn more about your coverage.
We also recommend you use this insurance script when calling your insurance company to help you determine if your plan covers medical nutrition therapy.
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1
Find your in-network provider.
Call your insurance provider (number on the back of the card). Have your insurance ID number and *reason for the visit ready (*see below).
Step 2
Am I covered?
Ask, “Does my plan cover nutritional counseling, diagnosis, or preventative for these CPT codes: 97802, 97803?” “Do I need a referral, prior authorization, or get a pre-determination letter before my appointment?” Get answers to get ready for your appointment!
Step 3
Meet with your dietitian.
Get paired with the dietitian that’s right for you. Together, build an individualized nutrition plan based on your specific and unique needs. Start to live your healthiest life today.
