Network provider participation with these insurance companies does not automatically qualify you for coverage. You, as the client, are responsible for contacting your insurance company to check for coverage.

Reimbursement rates for Nutrition Counseling by a Registered Dietitian, commonly referred to as Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT), vary among insurance providers and are entirely dependent on your plan, your deductible amount, and what diagnoses are covered by your insurance company.

Click on your insurance plan below to get a better idea of common 2024 benefits for nutrition services before you call to verify your individual benefits:

First 10 visits are covered 100% with no copay. These are covered with a preventative diagnosis code (like Z71.3, no medical referral required). A nutrition-related medical diagnosis (like F50.9) from your medical or therapeutic provider is required starting with visit 11. Visit limits are typically based on “medical necessity.” Deductibles/co-insurances/copays vary from plan to plan. An insurance rep can provide you more information regarding your specific benefits. You will need to provide a medical diagnosis code when asking about your benefits.

 –Note: we are not in-network with Duke Select plans

Sessions are covered 100% with no copay and no visit limit. Telehealth is covered under the same benefits.

Sessions are covered 100% with no copay. Visit limit of 30 sessions per year. Telehealth is covered under the same benefits.

Sessions are covered 100% with no copay. Visit limit of 6 per year. You may qualify for additional visits if you have a nutrition-related medical diagnosis. Telehealth sessions are not covered.

Benefits vary widely. Most provide some coverage for preventative visits (using diagnosis code of Z71.3) others require a nutrition-related medical diagnosis. Benefits can be different when using a preventative diagnosis code (like Z71.3) versus a medical diagnosis code (like F50.9). Most continue to cover telehealth sessions, though different benefits & cost-share responsibilities may apply.

Most policies will cover 3 visits per year for preventative visits (using diagnosis code Z71.3). Benefits vary widely by plan and a nutrition-related medical diagnosis (like F50.9) from your medical or therapeutic provider is required after the first 3 visits. A copay/deductible/co-insurance will likely apply. Most plans cover telehealth, but the benefits can be different for virtual versus in-person visits.

–Note: we are not in-network with Cigna Connect plans

Coverage is only provided for a diagnosis of diabetes, stage 3-5 chronic kidney disease, and 36-months after a renal transplant. We must have a physician referral on file for one of these diagnoses. The first year that benefits are used, 3 visits are covered. Every year after that, 2 visits per year are covered. Telehealth is currently covered under the same benefits. Keep in mind that any visits with a RD count towards the visit limits. If you have a secondary insurance, we can file claims with them to request coverage for other preventative codes (like Z71.3) or a nutrition-related medical diagnosis code (like F50.9).

Benefits vary widely. Visit limits are typically based on “medical necessity.” Deductibles/co-insurances/copays vary from plan to plan. An insurance rep can provide you more information regarding your specific benefits. You will need to provide a nutrition-related medical diagnosis code when asking about your benefits.

Benefits vary widely from plan to plan. Most plans do NOT provide coverage for preventative visits (using diagnosis code of Z71.3) and DO require a nutrition-related medical diagnosis (like F50.9) from your medical or therapeutic provider. However, some plans do provide preventative benefits for “obesity” and “cardiovascular risk factors” (ex: hyperlipidemia, hypertension, impaired fasting glucose). We highly recommend that a nutrition-related medical diagnosis be provided to us from a physician or therapist using our Referral Form. Most plans continue to cover telehealth visits under the same benefits.

Plans do NOT provide coverage for preventative visits (using diagnosis code of Z71.3). A nutrition-related medical diagnosis (like F50.9) is REQUIRED from your medical or therapeutic provider. Benefits vary widely from plan to plan in regards to deductible/co-insurance/copay and visit limits. Most plans do cover telehealth, though the benefits can be different for virtual versus in-person visits.

Please Note: Insurances sometimes say one thing and then commit to another. This form can be helpful to guide a conversation when verifying your benefits. We are not held responsible for charges that your health insurance may bill as this is unfortunately out of our control.

It is your responsibility to pay for any remaining balance not reimbursed by your Insurance company for your nutrition visit/s.

If you do not participate in our accepted plans or for those without nutrition benefits we offer self-pay rates, and payment is accepted in the form of credit cards, HSA/FSA, cash and checks. A superbill (coded, paid invoice) is provided upon request to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. Charges are subject to change.

Good Faith Estimate

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.
