How insurance coverage works

Insurance coverage for nutrition counseling varies by plan and diagnosis.

Most insurance plans:

  • Require a qualifying medical diagnosis

  • May require a referral from your physician

  • Have limits on the number of covered visits

  • May include copays, deductibles, or coinsurance

Benefits are verified before scheduling, whenever possible, so you understand your coverage before your first appointment. Coverage is never guaranteed, and patients are responsible for any out-of-pocket costs determined by their insurance plan.
