Frequently Asked Questions 〰️
-
Most insurance plans classify nutrition counseling as a preventive service, though some may consider it a medical service.
If your plan covers nutrition counseling as preventive care, your visit is typically covered at 100% with no out-of-pocket cost.
If your plan covers nutrition counseling as a medical service, standard cost-sharing may apply, including a specialist copay, deductible, and/or coinsurance once the visit is billed to insurance.
Please note that we do not verify insurance benefits on your behalf. It is your responsibility to confirm your coverage details and any potential out-of-pocket costs with your insurance provider.

We are in-network with major insurance providers, including BlueCross BlueShield, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare. Coverage for nutrition counseling can vary by plan, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to confirm your specific benefits.
-
At the moment we do not offer in-person appointments. Our virtual appointments are available and conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform called Practice Better.
-
A superbill is a document that summarizes your appointment, including what services were provided, the costs, and the billing codes used.
You can give this to your insurance company to request reimbursement or keep it for HSA/FSA documentation.
-
Why do you require a credit card on file?
A credit card is required on file to secure your appointment and for automatic payment of insurance-related balances, copays, coinsurance, deductibles, or other client-responsible amounts. Your card will be automatically charged for any balance due. If we anticipate a higher-than-usual balance, we may provide advance notice whenever possible as a courtesy.
Your card will also be charged the full session fee ($160-225, depending on session length) if you cancel or reschedule with less than 48 hours’ notice, no-show, or arrive 15+ minutes late. These fees are not covered by insurance and are the client’s responsibility.
Example: If your appointment is Tuesday at 3:00 PM, you must cancel or reschedule by Sunday at 3:00 PM to avoid the cancellation fee.

Your scheduled appointment includes the nutrition care and counseling provided during your session. Because insurance only covers eligible services provided during the scheduled appointment, we cannot bill your insurance for work completed outside of that appointment.
You can choose to receive support from your dietitian outside of your scheduled appointment, including messaging for individualized nutrition questions, follow-up support, or personalized guidance. This time is billed separately at our out-of-pocket rate of $40 per 15 minutes.
This is also why personalized meal plans, digital nutrition resources, and other services that require additional time outside of your appointment are offered separately as out-of-pocket services.
We also offer à la carte services, including personalized meal support, lab testing, and supplement protocols, for clients who would like additional support.
*Cost may vary depending on your location, age, and insurance plan.
GOOD FAITH ESTIMATE
Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises
