Verifying Insurance Benefits

If you plan to use health insurance for sessions, please contact your insurance provider prior to starting nutrition counseling to confirm coverage and avoid unexpected costs. While most insurance plans offer unlimited benefits for medical nutrition therapy, coverage can widely based on your specific policy, diagnosis, and provider network.

Verifying this information in advance helps ensure that you understand any potential out-of-pocket responsibilities such as copays, deductibles, session limits, or the need for a referral. Note: If insurance declines to cover your visit(s) for any reason, you are responsible for the full amount billed.

When verifying information, please reference the below CPT ("procedure") codes we use for nutrition counseling:
