Rates & Health Insurance
Most health insurance plans cover nutrition visits with us, usually at NO COST to you!
Preventative medical care such as medical nutrition therapy is defined as a “nutrition-based treatment provided by a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.”
Let insurance pay for your nutrition counseling
Many insurance plans pay for nutrition counseling, but it is often an unused benefit.
We welcome new patients and accept all major health Insurance plans
PAYMENT:
A valid credit/debit card on file is required and will be charged for self-pay fees, amounts insurance tells us are your responsibility after claims processing, and in case of late cancel or no show. You may also keep a HSA/FSA card on file for eligible transactions. Any refunds issued will be less the card processing fees we have incurred. If your insurance does not cover your visit(s) for any reason, you are responsible for the full amount billed.
