You can log in or register your portal HERE

Invitations to register your patient portal are sent along with initial paperwork to your email. If you did not receive an invitation, please check your spam folder, and then let us know and we can quickly resend it.

Use your patient portal to:

  • Easily message your provider or our staff
  • Access your appointment schedule, care plan, and personalized documents
  • Update demographic information
  • View and update insurance information
  • View, print, or download billing statements
  • Make online payments
  • Add/edit/delete credit cards saved to your account

You may also manually submit a replacement credit card or new insurance information by contacting our intake coordinator at [email protected]

Our billing system does not generate a patient charge until we receive an electronic explanation of payment from your insurance company. Therefore, clients will receive an invoice or notification of a charge approx. 2-4 weeks after each appointment. Cash, check and major credit cards are accepted for payment, either at our office, or online. It is requested that all clients keep a credit card on file.

Clients are responsible for the following fees for any missed or cancelled visits without 24 hours advance notice prior to the scheduled appointment time.

  • For 15-30 minute sessions the fee will be $50
  • For 45-90 minute sessions the fee will be $100

This late cancellation/no show policy will be outlined in a the ‘Financial Estimate’ form sent to you prior to your initial appointment. Any cancellation or rescheduling requests made more than 24 hours prior to the appointment will not be charged a late fee.

We see clients in-person in Durham, North Carolina, and can see clients virtually in Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Michigan, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Vermont.

Disordered eating can be complex and we recommend meeting with your dietitian weekly for adequate support in the beginning. Nutrition counseling is a process, many clients work with us for months, and many stay for over a year.
Some insurance plans will only cover services with a specific medical diagnosis. It is the client’s responsibility to get a referral from a medical or mental health professional before we can meet for the first session. Please use this form to request your nutrition-related diagnosis from your Medical Professional or Mental Health Professional.

Not all insurance plans are created equal which means that some plans will cover Nutrition Therapy and some do not. Please use our Insurance Verification form to guide you through checking your benefits.

We believe everyone should have access to affordable nutrition counseling. Our self-pay rates for an initial consultation (90 minutes) is $240. Our self-pay rates for follow up sessions (30-60 minutes) are $80-160.

Under the law, health care providers are required to give patients who don’t have insurance, or who are not using insurance, an estimate of the bill for services. You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your care will cost with our practice. If you do not want us to file with your insurance, a Good Faith Estimate will be provided upon scheduling and/or as requested. While it is difficult to predict the number of sessions you will ultimately need to reach your treatment goals, we strive to be as transparent as possible about the cost of treatment during this process.
