Insurance Coverage: Will Health Insurance Cover My Visits?

Some health insurance plans may cover part or all of your nutrition consultation, especially for conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and other medical nutrition needs. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to determine your coverage.

If you'd like to use insurance for your visits, you can either check with your insurance provider directly by calling the member services number on the back of your insurance card or have our billing team verify how many nutrition visits your plan covers. Unfortunately, this information isn't as easily accessible to dietitian nutritionists as it is for doctors and dentists. To help you get the details you need about your benefits, here are some helpful questions to ask and write down:

​

  • Do I have insurance coverage for nutrition counseling or medical nutrition therapy, CPT codes 97802 and 97803?

  • Do I have coverage for preventative nutrition counseling? For code Z71.3? If no, which medical conditions are covered?

  • Do I need a physician’s referral or prior authorization?

  • Do I have a deductible to meet before insurance will pay?

  • Do I have a co-pay?

  • How many nutrition sessions do I get per year or per lifetime?

  • Are telehealth visits covered?

 

Please note you will be responsible for any co-pays and you will be billed for the remaining balance for deductibles, co-insurance or visit fees which may include the entire visit fee if your insurance does not cover the visit.

​

For insurance plans outside of our network we can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement.
