HEALTHCARE SHOULD BE AFFORDABLE & accessible
Oftentimes you are not required to have an actual diagnosis in order to get coverage. Many insurance companies cover nutrition counseling for preventative care.
If you do have a diagnosis that requires nutrition intervention, that will be covered under medical nutrition therapy.
Our Registered Dietitians currently accept:
Aetna
BlueCross BlueShield
Cigna
United Healthcare
Optima Health
Out-of-Network

IF OUR DIETITIAN IS OUT-OF-NETWORK WITH YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY
Option 1: Call the 1-800 Member Services line (located on the back of your insurance card) and ask:
Do I have out-of-network nutrition counseling/medical nutrition therapy coverage? If yes:
We may be able to provide you with a “superbill” and/or an itemized invoice you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Reimbursement will vary based on your policy’s standards.
If you are provided a superbill, you are responsible for the payment which is due at the time of service. Our dietitian cannot submit the superbill on your behalf, they can only provide you the paperwork for submission.
Option 2: Use your HSA/FSA card
Option 3: Opt for our nutrition coaching option at a fraction of the cost of standard insurance rates
